I agree, but they did do them in the white, i.e. China Camp guns, and these look to me to be Italian parts guns.

They also have the bullseye ejector rod but the newer cross pin frame. Does that mean they are prewar?

Cross-pin frame is a pre-war frame regardless of ejector.  As far as the finish, yeah they look polished in the white or maybe some sort of nickle.  Somebody wanting that much money ought to be a little more knowledgeable about what they are selling.

Williams Larkin & Moore is a high end gun shop specializing fine Shotguns etc.  So the seller may be using their name to hike the price/

They look to be in the white....polish isn't that good, polished white looks sorta like SS.....they are Uberti parts guns, but then their American made guns were to Uberti spec.......always wondered why you'd go to the exspense and trouble of tooling up to build a Colt type SAA, then use Italian specs......But, they seem overpriced for what they are, but you see USFA's on GunBroker all the time at prices higher than you can find a Colt for.....at least asking prices.

 :)  Ya Well . . .  ;)

PLUS ONE for Abilene you betcha.  I'm no USFA Ex Spurt by any means but USFA didn't make Stainless Guns (best of my knowledge).  Well over priced too.
