It would be a great place to start until an original one comes along.
I typically don't care for the colors that DelGrego puts on these guns, but that whole package isn't bad looking. Of course they always pick one that's not in the book...

"Hmmm" is an interesting comment. However, no one, including the seller, is representing that gun as an original A grade. Stock book entries will usually identify a single by grade, I think. Don't know if that particular gun is in the stock books however.____Further checking results in "No information available on that serial number."

My point exactly Bill... "of course they (DelGrego) always pick one that's not in the book."

Okay, it just seems that way. Of course DelGrego had no control over what gun was sent to them. So A or C?

Ok Larry, I'm going to say it looks to me like an original SA, (restored and customized of course). But I still can't see that much difference between the SA and my SB, so I'm going to continue to hold out for the SAA or SA1S. And I'm going to hold my breadth.

And Bill, I think the seller is claiming the gun to be an original A grade when he advertises "Rare (only 32 made)".
