I just picked up a 32 wcf colt sa revolver was looking for some info on it sn 277xxx. anyone have any ideas?

Pictures and a few more details would really help.
If it is a single action 32-20, according to the Colt Serial Number search it was made in 1906.

Not much to see as far as pics would go. Left side has 32 WCF Right side has jan 10 1971 is the last date. it is single action and has bone grips. It appears to be in very good shape everything is tight you can barely see the line on the cylinder it locks up in time no rattles. Any idea on the value of a weapon like this?

No one can give you a realistic value estimate without some good clear pic’s.

Are you sure this isn't 1871?

Patent dates are normally on the LH side of a Colt SAA. The third one - on the second line - should be dated Jan 19 75 if it is the serial number ( 277xxx) that you say it is.

Photos are needed.

We like pictures of 100 yr old Colts , especially ones “ in very good shape “
Nickel & Bone sounds cool , as does your 4sp Harley ..... Welcome !

When typing , “ touch the paper clip “ above your written text - it will open camera or album

Tall You are correct on the date on the 2nd line being Jan 19 '75.
ColtsDad, Best I can tell it is in perfect condition although it is dated Jan 19 '75 which indicates that it is only 48 years old. I'm curious about the nickel plating and bone grips it is definitely not just a shooter.
'73 FLH I'm surprised you picked up on the 74ci not many do. I'm also surprised that I actually got the email address. Nice to hear back from someone with similar interest/knowledge.

Please post pictures. Most likely the patent date is 1875. Colt hasn't patented a new model of a single action in a hundred years that I know of. What is the serial number?

275xxx

The serial number dates the gun as 1906.
The 2nd line date of Jan 19 '75 is the date of the last patent on that model gun...January 19, 1875.
Are the grips really bone or could they be ivory? Are the one-piece grips or 2-piece? Do the panels have Colt medallions?

Until some pictures are posted, there is not much else anyone can say about the value.

2 piece bone 1 colt logo on right side of frame nothing on grips

That's really odd - every SAA I have ever seen has the rampant Colt logo on the LH side. Like this:

I agree, I've never seen a Colt SA with the Colt logo on the right side of the frame.
This is why we need pictures.

 

[seventyfourci]

I stand corrected the colt logo is on the left side and no logo's on the grips.

Are you going to post some pic’s?
