OK, here is the scoop! Colt charged me $150 and gave the info over the phone with the letter to follow. All of the information they had jives with the gun. It is a 45 Colt SAA with 7 1/2" barrel in Blue, no stocks listed so it is presumed to be standard, which should have been Colt's black rubber without eagles. It was shipped to Hartley & Graham's in New York on July 22, 1899, and it was 1 of 15. It has Black Powder rifling and a Black Powder front sight with the "V" rear sight, and the rampant colt has a full circle around it. According to Huhnhausen's Colt Shop Manual and the Blue Book the ejector rod and tube, hammer and hammer knurling, hand and bolt, sights, caliber, length, grips, and markings are all period correct for a pre-1900 Transition SAA. My final question is there appears to be 4 numbers on the cylinder where the last number matches the last number of the serial #, but the other numbers do not, and there is the letter P on the opposite side, and then the letters K and B and some other stamping on the ratchet side of the cylinder, do these numbers typically match up to other numbers on the gun and do the letters represent anything?
Also, a side note for St. George. I also took the opportunity to ask for the relettering of my Colt Black Powder collection of 11 guns, which they did find the serial number under special numbers. Even though they all have the same number the charge is going to be $75 per gun. They said the research will take up to 100 days, but they do not charge until then. Thanks for the advice!
