    New member in Michigan

    I wanted to introduce myself. I have been using the site the last couple of weeks to research a purchase that was made on Monday of an old colt SAA. It is a first gen serial # 139XXX which seems to put it 1891. It is a nickle gun with pearl handles. I bought it from a business associate whose father bought it in Waco, Tx in 1943 before heading overseas in WW2. I will post pictures in the near future.

    Thanks for the wonderful site and great info.

    Chris

    my plan is to get the Colt letter. The only info I have sofar is the purchase in Waco, Texas in the 40's. The gun is a .44-40 and I am taking it to shoot it Tomorrow in northern Michigan. I had the local gunsmith look at to confirm it was in good working order. Thanks for the interest. Once I get photos I look forward to sharing. I am excited to learn more about Colts and my particular new aquisition.
