One 1957 or 56 in 44 special top ... Bottom 1959 .45 Colt . Boxes are a little tattered but still good. Both like new, don't think either has been fired.

Nice 2nd Gen guns. Here's my 1959 .38 Special 5.5" Nickel with Stag stocks that I acquired from a fellow Colt Forum member.

Those are fantastic guns. but I think .44 specials started in 1958. And JCS, that, nickel and stag is my favorite combination.

That's my favorite caliber and the year I was born. I'll take it! PM coming! Just kidding there but hope your gun is that early. It would only make a very special .44 Special even that more special.

According to Wilkerson the .44 Special was introduced in the Post-War SAA in early 1958. I would letter it and see if it was actually shipped in 1957 or 1956. You have a very nice pair of 2nd Generation SAAs. Enjoy your Colt SAAs.

Very nice guns. The black box era single actions are my favorite.

I really like that .44 Special and have been somewhat casually looking for one just like that for awhile now.

I purchased as a 1956 gun ???? Colt look upnumbers on the site has it a 57. A letter would tell me for sure.
