The Colt Single Action Army revolver was ordered as a gift for Theodore Roosevelt’s 54th birthday. Factory engraved and silver plated, it was shipped four days before his birthday, just over a week prior to the election of 1912, and ten days prior to his assassination attempt in Milwaukee, WI.
Dripping with history and the factory engraving of master Cuno Helfricht, this Colt Single Action Army ranks (at time of auction) as the third highest firearm ever offered by Rock Island Auction Company.
