Considered to be the finest Single Action Army Pistol ever made, we have a United States Firearms Henry Nettleton Model 1873 “Cavalry Model” with the 7 1/2 inch barrel, to duplicate the original. For a little over 10 years running from the late 1990’s till 2011 USFA which was located in the original Colt Factory in Hartford CT, ”under the blue dome” manufactured the finest Single Action Army revolvers that have ever been made, far and above anything and everything Colt ever made. Since the demise of the factory, these exceptional pistols have obtained a legendary and cult like status among collectors and they will bring substantially more than a 2nd or 3rd gen Colt made example.
That is certainly saying something when a USFA is more collectible than even a Colt! These pistols were meticulously built, the fit and finish is flawless, they shoot to point of aim. Doug Turnbull did the finish on this these inspector series pistols. The Henry Nettleton model in the original 7 1/2 inch and the 5 1/2 inch versions are probably the most well known and highly sought after variations that were produced. Truly a masterpiece in the old Connecticut tradition.
