Traded for a Colt SAA to go with my Win 38-40 1892 SRC!

Post by rangerider7 »

This is the 38-40 Colt SAA that I have been looking at with the cut barrel. It went from a 7 1/2 years ago to a 5 1/2. It was a poor job. The shop that traded for it cut it back to 4 5/8 and put a new sight on it along with crowning the mussel. I think it turned out well. I shot it yesterday and had a little file adjustment to the height but it shoots great now. It is amazing what a little steel wool and cold blue can make look better. The SAA has some caseharden colors left in the non-wear areas. They are both from the 1920s. I thought y'all might want to see them.

Rangerider, both are superb looking pieces that somehow seem to command respect due to their history. Your display case is also a real beauty, together with the items displayed within. Very nice indeed.

Nice combo. I like that Colt, I've always wanted one. Yours even has the long flute cylinder. Don't see many of those.

When you get a chance why not do a combo range report with pics for us.

By the way, your pics are excellent.

Oh, what does that 1933 vintage document in the black frame right behind the Colt say? I can just read enough of it to be curious.

J Miller, That is a "Warrant of Authority and Discriptive list" for the Texas Ranger Frank Hamer. Sorry to say it is a copy. The Texas Rangers carried these before they had a state badge. I have one but it is not one of a well known Texas ranger. I don't think the Colt SAA is a long flute, maybe it is the angle of the photo.
