    From what little I know about these guns the 1st Generation and early 2nd Gen(about up to SER#39000sa)are of the finest quality.

    I have read that the post 1965 guns were beginning to diminish in
    quality and the decline continued through the years.

    Can someone tell me how the quality of the current manufactured compares to the others?
    Thank You

    Original, black powder, SAA's. Can be very expensive, in VG condition or better. IMHO, it would be best. If you could get help from a knowledgeable/honest collector, or dealer. Before striking out on your own.

    Awful lot of them, have been screwed with over the years. You don't want to get stuck. With a pig in a poke.

    Hello the grips on pistols can often with age and storage problems change from black to a brown your brown ones may be originally black

    Yup.
    I have seen a number of old hard rubber Colt grip panels aged from black to brown. Seems worse on Colt than Smith.

    Yep, I've had a few of them. It's not unusual.

    The color change is caused by oxidation of the rubber.
