I think Colt started the SXXXXXA 3rd gen S/N's in 1993 or 1994. Your S/N S43XXXA is a 2006 or 2007. Call colt CS for the actual year of Manufacture.
I finally have a Colt SAA back in my accumulation. "Accumulation" is the term for somebody that buys
whatever they like, unlike a "collector" who usually has some direction in mind with their purchases.

Hear , Hear ! Well said. That last sentence is accurate enough to be appropriately written on my tombstone.Accumulation vs Collection: Over the years I have tried to collect specific guns such as the Pre-64 Winchester Model 70's and German P-38's. In both cases I rapidly found that it is easy to start a collection, but it can take most of one's life to really 'complete' a collection unless you are wealthy and can buy other's collections at premium prices.I feel this inability to 'complete' a collection has driven me to 'accumulate' collectable firearms.
...I feel this inability to 'complete' a collection has driven me to 'accumulate' collectable guns, women, cars, boats, houses, etc. .
trapper45: The word you coined, accumullection, is perfect for people like us. That makes us "Accumullectors".I tend to use the term 'accumullection' for the assortment assembled over the years. There may not be any governing system to what I've gathered, but what I've got is what I wanted, and I guess that's sufficiently systematic for me.
As well as enablers!!!!!trapper45: The word you coined, accumullection, is perfect for people like us. That makes us "Accumullectors".
