Very interesting picture.....look how fairly uniform the finish is on each of them...in my area that kind of gun will bring $2400 unless it has a special shipping location.
The grips - Would you call them hard rubber or plastic? I kinda like the looks of those older black rubber/plastic? grips, but I like the older plain walnut grips the best. I guess the older plain walnut grips are quite hard to find. I assume the plain walnut grips/stocks the most rare.
I wonder if anyone ever posted SAA grip generation photos like we have here on the Python?

Those are all hard rubber grips and the single actions all appear to have the spring loaded cylinder pin catches which should place them in the approx 1896 year range to 1911 year range judging on the small profile front sights.
Old-Colts has posted a picture somewhere along the way on this forum of the progression of the hard rubber grip.
I thought that looked like something I'd seen before. It's the cover of Jim Supica's spring 2006 auction catalog when he was still operating as Old Town Station.
