EXTREMELY RARE COLT LONG FLUTE SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER WITH COLT FACTORY DOCUMENTED SHIPMENT TO TRAIN ROBBER SIDNEY FULCHER.COLTSAA32986745W/HOLSTERMODERN; C&RCal. 45. 4-7/8" bbl. This remarkable long flute Colt is rare enough in itself, but to find a factory documented SAA actually shipped to a noted "bad man" and train robber who was convicted of mail robbery and sentenced to 25 years in Levenworth is unprecedented. Most "bad man" revolvers carry anecdotal history. Sid Fulcher is documented in the Colt Factory records. Shipped to him in June of 1915, Fulcher registered for the U.S. Army in 1917 in Clifton, AZ. After the war he was a rodeo rider. After his mother committed suicide he decided to take the outlaw path and was involved in train robbing, mail robbery and shoot-outs with the Bradbury brothers during which his brother was killed and Sid was wounded. This fascinating Western "bad man" Colt is contained in its orig holster marked "Henry Nordhaus Deming, NM". CONDITION: Sid Fulcher's Colt SAA retains traces of orig bluing in long flute gullets on cut down bbl and trigger guard. Gun shows heavy use on grips with left side literally worn away from use. Bore is good and action is very crisp. If you want a factory documented Western "bad man" Colt revolver together with its orig New Mexico beautifully tooled leather holster this is a true historical treasure. 53041-1 MRZ (15,000-30,000)
