Very nice! It has the 'Blackpowder Frame' and traces of finish in the cylinder flutes. The screw heads look pretty good, too! A real nice, unbuggered SAA will command a small fortune at an auction. Is there a factory letter? What is the caliber? The number one choice was the .45 followed by 44-40, 38-40, 32-20 and the .41. There were dozens more, but they are very uncommon, like the .22 RF and .32 LC, for example. Has the front sight been filed? This modification is certainly not uncommon. One of my favorite shooters was a 99% SAA in .45 Colt, made in 1964. I had 2 Cimarron Ubertis in .44 Special (my all-time favorite revolver cartridge), too. USFA's Rodeo in .38 Special was my last SAA. My hands do not tolerate ANY amount of recoil anymore, so the SAAs all had to go. Nothing fills the hand as nicely as a SAA, real or reproduction! A brand new Bearcat is my new plinker. Cheers!
