The beginning of the"2nd Generation" of SAA's. Various Colt SAA models were built from 1873 to 1940. government procured over 37,000 Colt SAA's over the next 19 years. Ordinance Department's test board concluded: the Colt revolver superior in most respects, and much better adapted to the wants of the Army than the Smith& Wesson. And the inspector's initials(and often date) were stamped into the grips. Army in 1873 was in caliber.45 Long Colt. It became the most popular handgun on the American Frontier and the definitive firearm of the Old West. The Colt Single Action Army(SAA) was introduced in 1873. This configuration is used for the scout. Artilery and civilian models(7 1/2 inch, 5 1/2 inch and 4 3/4 inch barrels) Best way to identify is to look for cut out on top edge of grips as seen in your last picture. These would be for Colt SAA of 1873 rather than 1872. These are original Colt grips made to fit the.22 Scout only. If someone can let me know Ill post the information. However im not sure if they are for a fullsize frame or the scout.

Great all Heiser holster for use or display. There is green around the cartridge loops and the rivets from age. more loops hold a 357 or 38 cartridge real snug. 12 inches is the measurement of the length of the opening in the holster itself. Wide main strap is adjustable with a brass buckle. Overall length of the holster to the top strap where it fits on your shoulder is 24 inches. I have no 7 inch colt but I think that would also fit but it will be just an inch higher than the pistol shown. Shown is a colt not included decoy pistol with a 4 and 1/2 inch barrel. The nylon straps are pretty much stretched out and the rear of the holster has 2 slots where they ran a belt through it to keep it secure from flopping. Holster is all original and hand floral carved. This is a good old marked Heiser shoulder holster that has the HHH Heiser Denver mark on it with the numbers 225 on the back.
