I traded for this today at the local gunshow and I am a little in the dark about it. It is a blued and case hardened with wood grips .357mag SA revolver with a 5 1/2" bbl. It is like new with a nice finish and works fine. The last Patent date is 1975. It has "OLD SAYBROOK" "TRADITIONS" after the ARMI SAN MARCO under the BBL. Looks like a classic Colt SA Army with the plow handle. Overall it is a good looking and functioning gun that seems like I steal for what I traded for.
After researching on this site and trying to find info in my 23 edition Blue Book, I didn't come up with much that helps. I noticed that Joesy really hates them for some reason but that don't do me any good. If it is in the Blue Book, can someone give me the page number? Also, what is the value in rounded terms? I saw a few being sold at the gunshow that were the same except they were in .45LC, the price was $369 + tax. Is that about right for a new one?
