Thanks Mike for the detail picture, Harton did a nice intricate design for the cylinder lock system. I like your octagon barrel, I think it looks good on a flat top Colt. I also have a flat top 51/2" barrel in 357 cal. I got it new when they game out. Only fired 45 rounds in it. As of now it is being engraved will have to show it when it's done.

HI AJ.
Beauyiful gun! Quite similar styles. Both of these guns came from Nutmeg and were engraved by master engraver Andrew Bourbon. He signed both guns with his stylized initials “AB” above the serial number.
The wolf on the hammer is also a similar theme.

I was thinking about bidding... CFSS
Single Action ArmyThis seems to be an honest CFSS and I was thinking about bidding. The trigger position seems a little odd but they seem to vary when looking at other SAAs. In 1902 Arizona was still a territory, Wyatt Earp was still alive, there was still open range in Wyoming, so while not my ideal pre-1900, it...- 7

Potential SAA Purchase
Single Action ArmyI hate to do this with only one picture, but I have had my eye on this SAA chambered in .38-40 and made in 1902 for several months. For reasons that escape me, I only took one photo. I know there are many problems with this gun, but I enjoy a good challenge and the price doesn't seem too...- 50

1st Generation Shooter at a Reasonable Price
Single Action ArmyThere has been some talk of the price of a 1st Generation SAA if only wanted for a shooter. I consider this as a good 1st Generation shooter at a reasonable price. Its a 7 1/2 inch .38-40 factory lettering to a hardware store in Salt Lake City in 1926. All numbers match, timing and lockup are...- 14

Single Action ArmyI am looking to purchase a SAA with a beautiful case colored frame, with blued barrel and cylinder. It has serial #352358 (1928) on the frame. #133117 K (1890?) on the trigger guard. #321278 (1912) on the heel.
