First Gen Colt SAA 1882
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. 0 -

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.0 -

I agree. Restamped serial numbers and fake inspector's stamp. Don't touch it.0 -
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 0 -
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". 0
