Fair price for this SAA?

[OKCShooter]

I guess I should have prefaced that I want a 1st Gen US SAA - mainly for historical collecting...

I think you could get a little better one than that for that price. Bob

I have one in classifieds (sadly modified) under "three old Colts " for $1800.

I would seriously be concerned buying from someone that has been signed up since 2007, but has no transactions.

Take a look at the auction houses. Little Johns and Rock Island have auctions coming up in February. There are many times great deals on guns that have been verified.

these places all have first gen saa's in your price range that can at least show you what's out there. including several artillery models.

like the others, i'd say you could get a little more gun than the one shown at the price. i do agree with you though about first gen vs. third gen. i just have no interest in a new gun. part or much of the premium on first gen saa's is where a particular gun might have been, who might have used it etc. it's the "character" of the piece.

I only found this site a few years ago,and I rarely part with my Colts. That's the reason for a lack of transactions.I've sold some items thru EBAY. (humminghome) and bought a few guns thru Gunbroker and AuctionArms. (pecospark and pecosriver) I understand your trepidation,but not all of us can be charter members. Please don't assume I'm out to cheat anyone. If you choose not to buy,so be it.

Pecosriver, I think that was a reference to the seller on Guns America.
