Remarks

The Colt company has a long tradition of presentations to important military and political figures, including the president of the United States, which dates back to Samuel Colt. The first president to receive a presentation was Andrew Jackson, and in modern times, the practice continued with Harry S. Truman. Due to its history and popularity, the Single Action Army is often used for presidential presentations.
