Product Description
1906 COLT Bisley Model SINGLE ACTION ARMY .32-20 WCF C&R Six-Shot Revolver
SAA in .32-20 Winchester Manufactured in 1906
Here we present a C&R Colt Bisley Model Single Action Army Revolver in .32-20 Winchester, or 32 WCF, manufactured in Hartford, Connecticut in 1906. Though Colt enjoyed the largest contracts of any handgun maker during the American Civil War, it had to rely on its array of percussion fired revolvers, namely the 1860 Army until the Smith & Wesson owned Rollin White Patent expired in 1869. This enabled them to begin making revolvers with completely bored through cylinder chambers in order to utilize modern metallic cartridge ammunition in the most effective manner.
In 1869, Colt’s began development of a suitable cartridge revolver in earnest, first coming out with a number of conversions for their percussion lines, until 1872 when they debuted what was to become the Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army in the 1872 U.S. Trials. Needless to say, it won, and became the Army’s revolver of choice. It also became the sidearm of choice for many others like cowboys, guards, lawmen, crooks, shopkeepers and all manner of civilians. This variant is characterized by a more curvaceous grip frame and lower hammer spur.
These pistols made excellent companions to rifles at the time as they were chambered for the same ammunition, meaning that the user only had to keep one type to feed both guns.
The overall condition is good. Gray patina throughout. All four clicks and all three positions present in the action with solid cylinder lock up. The bore is dim with thin but serviceable rifling. The grips are a solid replacement. Numbers match.
