Think of classic firearms of the Old West, and
there is one revolver which comes instantly to mind – the Colt Single
Action Army Revolver. Arguably the world’s most famous revolver, the Colt
Single Action Army carries with it all the romance and adventure of the
Old West.
 It’s impossible to hold the revolver in your hand and not
conjure the images of those who wielded it before you. The weapon often
called “the Peacemaker®” was the handgun of choice for celebrated figures
like Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill Cody and
Cavalry troopers of the Old West. It was just as popular with notorious
outlaws like Jesse James, the Daltons, Billy the Kid and Black Jack
Ketchum.
The introduction of the Colt Single Action
Army Revolver was a milestone event in American history. Now, America
Remembers proudly presents the “Colt Legends in Steel Tribute Revolver,” a
handsomely decorated working firearm in caliber .45 LC which has been
officially licensed and approved by Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC.

a threat on the frontier.
The centerpiece of the Colt Legends in Steel Tribute is the
intricately decorated cylinder. Six detailed images, unique to the Colt
legacy, are framed by elegant scrollwork. In addition to two depictions of
the familiar stylized Rampant Colt logo, the cylinder features
• Samuel Colt as a young sailor of
16, carving the block of oak that would make firearms history.
• Colt’s ancestral “Armsmear® Crest” the source of the Rampant
Colt adopted by Samuel Colt for his Company’s logo. The crest carries the
Latin motto, vincit qui patitur, “He who perseveres is victorious,” a
motto which aptly sums up Colt’s life and the history of the company he
founded.
• The extravagant Colonel Colt topped his Hartford Armory with an
enormous Byzantine-inspired blue onion dome sprinkled with more than 80
gold stars. A gilded zinc Rampant Colt stands atop the dome which crowns
the armory.
• A portrait of Samuel Colt made from a photograph taken by
celebrated Civil War photographer Matthew Brady, a few years before Colt’s
death.
The backstrap is decorated with ornate scrollwork and the legend
“Peacemaker.” Also featured is an artistic rendition of the fabled Charter
Oak.
The frame features the legendary Rampant
Colt. Through the years it has been a consistent symbol on Colt firearms
and in virtually every aspect of Samuel Colt’s life. The recoil shield
features a rendition of Tex and his horse Patches. Originally painted for
a memorable advertising campaign, the image portrays a sheriff, high in
the saddle with a Colt in his holster.
The barrel and cylinder are polished and
blued. The artwork depicting the heritage of the Colt Company and the life
of Samuel Colt is richly portrayed in 24-karat gold.
Each revolver is fitted with classic walnut
grips with the Rampant Colt medallion.
Each Colt Legends in Steel Tribute is decorated by craftsmen
specifically commissioned by America Remembers with artwork honoring
Samuel Colt and the legendary company that bears his name.
