colt saa

Hey guys im new to the forum. Im about to be the owner of a unfired 1980s 7.5 inch .357 Saa. It's color case hardened and the serial number is SA11xxx. Any general knowledge/advice would be greatly appreciated. Also your input on the value?

Hi all, I'm more of a 1911 enthusiast (still learning), but am developing an interest in SAA's. My local shop has 2nd Gen. SAA with 7.5 inch barrel for sale in .38 Special. SN dates it to 1959. Everything looks original, including the black plastic prancing pony grips. It has some high point...

I was wondering, hypothetically of course, if you were to inherit a gun that was over 100 years old and the serial number and many of the identifying numbers were apparently filed off, what would you do with it? Does it need to be registered? Can it be owned for historical purposes without a...
