| A guy I work with found a Colt SAA in his fathers safe that he never knew his dad had. The SN is 3550XX, Can the hive help him establish an approximate value on this revolver. It is in decent shape with what appear to be ivory grips. I can provide more info if requested. |

It is in decent shape with what appear to be ivory grips. I can provide more info if requested. you NEED more info. Caliber? Barrel Length? CONDITION. CONDITION, CONDITION Not "decent" shape. Look at a Blue Book in the front and see how the grade guns. They have some colts shown too. btw, with regrads to ths S/N. they used SA as a prefix AND suffix. so if the XX is SA, then you need to say so. some had the s/n engraved on the cylinder. also, some were black powder frames. PICTURES WOULD BE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| with that serial number the gun would be a late production (probably 1930's era) first generation gun - IF IF IF there is no SA prefix or suffix to the serial number. If a 1ST generation gun much much more info is needed- values go from about 1k on mismatched refinished "shooters" to well north of 10K on mint condition rare examples for special order barrel lengths calibers engraving etc. |
