#Colt saa 1st generation for sale serial numbers#
The serial numbers (.i think.) end with an "SA" the numbers come firstįor the money ya are gonna have to spend on a SAA, i would always handle and authenticate it. COLT 2ND GENERATION SINGLE ACTION ARMY - C42970. We've got several that have been worked over and they are the equal of any second generation ive ever seen and i've handled quite a few. Select any photo to access a larger version in a new window. The purists will tell ya they are inferior in quality to the second generations, and there is a grain of truth in that pronouncement. The only big change was a solid cylinder bushing (.which the colt purists hate.) and different threads on the barrel frame assembly. This is what the colt custom shop builds. It was bought from an ole buddy of ours probably 10 or so years ago and the New Frontiers are considered "lesser children" by the real colt collectors. This is an 1896-made revolver that retains 90-92 of a period added nickel finish that has left the markings quite crisp and legible. 32 WCF (.32-20), 7 1/2 barrel with a very good bore that has strong rifling and mild freckling within the grooves. We have a low S/N New Frontier that i gave $800 for "no questions asked". Colt Single Action Army Revolver 1st Generation 32-20. The serial numbers (.i think.) begin with an "SA" prefix, then the numbers. A good clean one in an original box will drive ya to your knees (.they do me, at least.). Iv'e never seen a good second generation sell for less than $2500, and that wuz years ago. Greatest of the SSA's (.i think, at least.). The ones that are left are likely put togethers. We've got one in the "archives" somewhere.Īs to the "generation" thing heres the "Reader's Digest Summary".įirst generation.
There are also some really good books on this subject, but the titles elude me now. Call them and talk to 'em about the generations. They probably know as much as anybody about them and their inventory of them constantly changes.
They had the inside track for years on Colts from the factory.
