Description
This exceptional Presentation Model Peacemaker SAA Revolver set in .45 Colt pays homage to the trailblazing legacy of William Hepburn Russell, Alexander Majors, and William Bradford Waddell, founders of the renowned Pony Express. These revolvers, with their 7 1/2-inch barrels and distinctive presentation markings, are not just firearms but a direct link to a significant chapter in history. Their complete nickel finishes embody classic elegance and historical reverence, connecting you to the past in a tangible way.
Each revolver, a testament to the rich history of the Pony Express, comes with two-piece walnut grips adorned with iconic Colt medallions and three unique cylinders. These third-generation revolvers, part of a limited production of only 1,004 in 1966, offer collectors a rare and exclusive opportunity to own a piece of history.
The set is presented in an original glass-fronted display case with a rich red cloth-fitted interior, providing an elegant showcase for the revolvers and cylinders. While the case exhibits minor wear on the exterior, both revolvers remain in near-pristine condition. Gun 1 (PE301-E) and Gun 2 (PE301-W) retain nearly all nickel finish, with bright, near-excellent bores. Minor imperfections, such as a giant chip on Gun 1’s left grip panel toe and a small dent and chip on Gun 2’s grip panel butt, are a testament to their authenticity and storied craftsmanship.
