Colt Frontier Scout 62 revolver 22cal LR w/cowboy holster Stock #2800

In 1956, Colt brought back their Single-Action Army from a 15-year hiatus. This second outing of the world’s most admired revolver was pretty expensive retailing for around $125 (roughly $1215 today). The 1940s and 1950s were filled with western movies and stories coming back to life and being imprinted into the American psyche. Fathers who yearned to be cowboys since their youth wanted to buy their sons an example to enjoy. How could this be done at such a great expense?

Called the “Frontier Scout ’62”  because of its introduction in 1962. These initially were offered in the same box as the K suffix revolvers but later in a clever marketing campaign, the boxes were changed entirely. The new ’62 boxes had orange and white contrasts with a black colt logo and small depictions of cowboys using SAA revolvers. The top left corner in all caps reads “NEW” and in the center of the box it says “FRONTIER SCOUT ’62.” These were made from the same Zamak alloy but were blued and only had simulation stag horn grips called Staglite grips. Approximately 68,000 were manufactured.

This Frontier Scout was manufactured in 1965 according to the Colt website.
