Ok folks, need a little help here, I bought this today. It came from an estate sale with a leather holster rig, loops and stinger ammo. Near as I can figure out, it's a Colt Single Action Army in 357 mag. 3rd generation, 7.5 in barrel, stainless, elk horn grips.
So the issue is,, is this stainless or nickel finish. I thought it was stainless but after looking a bit online, I've seen nickle that looks like what I have. I like it either way, but it's about a $200 + value if it is.
Also, I thought it was elkhorn grips. The dealer didn't really know for certain either and went for the general consenses that it's elkhorn. SOOO, while lookng at the rest,, the grips look diff then what I found for elkhorn,, maybe possibly sambar stag? It would be a $175+ value if they are sambar,, I have no idea what they are.
extended butt frame? extra long backstrap? what else do I not know here?
All I know is that I saw it and I liked it, it stood out as a unique piece and I wanted to add something nice to my collection, I got a good deal and I know to request a manufacture's letter, but in the mean time, what can you all fig? The serial is SA14***. sorry about the pics, the camera was giving me issues.
