You should probably contact Colt first.
Since they made these SAA's they could blue a cylinder to match.
I think they still offer SAA finishing and that's were I'd start.............

Other options for top quality bluing........NOT some local gunsmith who may still do a little bluing, and almost always does it poorly.
Some of these are restoration services able to replicate old types of gun bluing.
If Colt is still taking work in, that's the way to go. If not, Turnbull is one of the best at replicating original finishes. Precision Bluing is a nice group to work with, but they washed out some screw holes on the last rifle they did for me. Good for the average Joe, but not really acceptable on a higher end gun.
I took a 3rd gen cylinder to Lever Action Bill (1-307-431-9194) to match the rest of the gun and he did the work perfectly very very happy check him out
Baron Technology can polish and produce a Royal Blue without issue. I had them do my old Combat Commander. It looks like my older Python. They can recut any trademark or roll marks with in-house engravers if the polishing required affects them. I believe they do work for S&W and Ruger.
