Hey now!!That very first picture makes a nice desktop wallpaper!
Wouldn't the purchase price be a good basis for insurance?
The OP will want to buy this setAs long as you don't lower the hammer from the half cock notch it'll all be okay.
With properly fitting screwdrivers, no harm in removing screws either.
That could be true. As I've been hit with a few offers since my original post, and after scouring countless pages on the net, I'm just not very confident I could sell the SAA for what I could purchase those two pieces for. Now of course they're completely different animals. My feeling is that SAA is worth it's top value to a small few people who want it for a specified reason .... a pimped out modified saa shooter. The vintage original pieces have a much wider collector base and will hold their value and probably continue to increase over time. It's not all about the money really, but that certainly solidifies things when it's all said and done.I have no idea what those guns are worth but if a collector is offering both those guns for your SAA, he probably knows it's worth more.
I agree, it sure does look like Doug Turmbull's work alright.Jarring notes are the front sight and the "fire blue" screws. The screws are beautiful, but Colt SAA screws didn't look like that. It sure looks like Turnbull work.

Sorry Fluffer but I can't go along with that. Not by a long shot. You know damn good and well that any 1st generation Colt is worth more than a new one in virtually any condition.I'm not sure it would go for more then a similar one from today's Colt Custom Shop.
