It's a Second Generation, I think 1890s, .45 Colt, 5" bbl.
Funny thing about the SAA, it has one of the nicest trigger pulls I have seen.

Come on Todd, You know this stuff. First Generation went up to the cessation of production at the begining of WW2. 2nd Gen began, IIRC, 1957.

Yes, you're right. It's a 1st gen, but smokeless frame, which started in 1896, IIRC.
I'm certainly no expert, and am constantly learning, and sometimes relearning stuff I knew and forgot.
I may have known this, but don't remember ; )
