Description
Some guns are just guns. Others carry a legacy. This Colt Single Action Army (SAA) Sheriff is firmly in the second camp.
Wrapped in a brilliant polished nickel finish and dressed with fine engraving and handsome wood grips, it’s got a presence that commands attention without saying a word. But here’s the twist—it’s not just pretty. Chambered in the ever-reliable .44-40 Winchester and paired with an extra .44 Magnum cylinder, this SAA Sheriff balances classic charm with practical versatility.
And then there’s the paper trail.
This exact revolver (Serial SA48364), yes, this one—earned a spot in the revered Colt books authored by Don Wilkerson. That kind of mention? It doesn’t happen by accident. It means the gun isn’t just collectible; it’s documented, recognized, and respected. Collectors know the difference. A gun in a book is a gun with a story. It’s one thing to have a beautiful Colt—it’s another to have one that’s literally in the history books.
Of course, all the right details are still here: the original box, the extra cylinder, the paperwork. That stuff matters, especially if you’re a collector who knows the value of completeness. It’s like finding a vintage Rolex with the box and papers—clean provenance always sweetens the deal.
Bottom line? This isn’t just a Colt—it’s a time capsule, a conversation starter, and a statement piece. Whether you’re adding to a serious collection or just happen to appreciate history that fits in the palm of your hand, this Colt SAA Sheriff brings a whole lot more to the table than most ever will.
