A Colt Single Action Army made in 1914, serial number 330811, in .45 Long Colt with a 4 3/4-inch barrel. This is the scarce Long Flute variation: between 1913 and 1915 Colt fitted leftover Model 1878 cylinders to Single Action Armies, 1,478 guns in all, and only 579 of those date from 1914. A factory letter confirms the configuration, long-flute cylinder included. The metal is sharp, with traces of finish in protected areas. The grips are original Colt grips but slightly oversized and not from this gun; a sliver is missing inside the left panel.

This revolver is for the Colt collector. The long-flute cylinder is one of the recognized Single Action Army variations, the 1914 production year narrows it further, and the factory letter settles the configuration on paper. It is not a range or carry gun; the value lies in the documentation and the sharp, original metal. A buyer should judge the mismatched grips from the photos rather than expect a perfect example.
