First Gen Colt SAA 1882

0oAKo47o0
First Gen BP colt all matching with the addition of a fake US contract stamp and the initials CFG on the bottom of the trigger guard. How much does this devalue the gun?

    The auction doesn't have good pictures, I have been trying to pry information out of the seller all week. The US stamp wasn't even discernable from the pictures, I had to ask him and he replies "I bought it at a local auction, I think the US was stamped later to fake a contract gun."

    Colt shows 1882 for that serial #. I'm not sure of how much the "fake marks" reduce the value. Cutting barrels and drilling extra holes in collectible rifles drops their value a lot, shooters not so much.

    I wouldn't buy that gun with your money. The restamped serials numbers should be more of a concern than the "US" on the frame.

    I agree. Restamped serial numbers and fake inspector's stamp. Don't touch it.

    IMHO this pistol would only if one had an original that needed some parts it may be good for parts but of little value as a miss match thatbubba has improved

    Thank you guys so much, I didn't even realize the numbers were re-stapmed.It makes sense now. Pretty new to this and I know some of you guys are very knowledgeable about these "old colts".
