The Colt Single Action Army (SAA) revolver, also known as the Peacemaker, was one of the most popular and iconic firearms of the Old West. It was introduced in 1873 and chambered in various calibers, such as .45 Colt, .44-40 Winchester, and .38-40 Winchester. The Colt SAA was widely used by lawmen, outlaws, cowboys, soldiers, and adventurers.
The price of the Colt SAA varied depending on the year, the model, the caliber, the finish, and the availability. According to some sources12, the average price of a Colt SAA in the 1870s and 1880s was around $17 to $20, which would be equivalent to about $400 to $500 in today’s money. However, some rare or embellished models could fetch much higher prices, especially if they had historical significance or belonged to famous people.
