The auction – perhaps the largest sale only of Colt firearms ever to come under the hammer at once – featured two exceptional collections of Colts. The Buck Stevens Collection of Fine Colts offered 77 lots of unique firearms, including one of the rarest arms in existence – the historic Colt Single Action Army Revolver Serial No. 1. Called the “Peacemaker” and celebrated as an icon of American arms collecting, this Colt Revolver, along with extensive background material and its custom gold-embossed display case, was estimated to bring $500,000 – 1,000,000. When the auctioneer’s gavel came down, Serial No. 1 stole the show – realizing $862,500 and a new world-record price for a Colt single action firearm sold at auction.
