Black Beauty Breaks the Million Dollar Mark!

By: Rock Island Auction CompanyPublished in RIAC Latest · 1 min read · May 6, 2025

Everyone in attendance held their breath once Black Beauty crossed the $1 Million threshold. Other than the auctioneer, the silence was palpable. How much farther would this Colt Single Action Army revolver go?

The finest example of the most iconic American firearm, cut by the most celebrated 19th century American engraver, L.D. Nimschke, at the zenith of his career. Its name is Black Beauty and it will be long remembered at Rock Island Auction Company.
