Calvin N. Hobbes, 17218 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 SOLD $2200 Like new in box Colt SAA .45LC, 4 3/4" barrel, color case frame. Includes Blue Box and white sleeve and Colt instructions. Test fired only. Genuine Ivory grips, with Gold Colt medallion. I'm not sure if these are Colt Custom Shop, or aftermarket but they are perfectly fitted with nice grain and color. Screws are mint. Very light cylinder turn marks. About 100% mint. Has a lighter hammer and bolt spring installed, but the original springs are included. You can't buy these anymore (Custom Shop will put on a list), especially the Ivory grips. Free priority shipping to your FFL. No trades please, I need money to pay for Christmas buying frenzy. Payment by M.O. or check if I know you. Going up on GunBroker later today for substantially more, this is a deal for SASS members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Calvin : I do not mean to do anything but elevate this gun sale Pards this is a deal if I were Calvin I would rethink that price but it's NOT my gun!!!! this is a 1993 Colt, which means it was an early 3rd gen re-issue just before the "what some folks call Gen 4" guns. Colt had slowed , almost ceased production until USFA and AWA showed them the error in their ways and they ramped production back up. These guns were all true custom shop guns!!! Those grips are REAL Ivory from Nutmeg Sports ( Jim Alaimo fame). They were doing all Colt Ivory grips. As these are originally fitted to the gun there should be no issues there. When this gun was new those grips were a $400+ option, cost depended on availability now when you can find them $600 + and you have to "PROVE" provenance of the ivory....good luck with that. SOMEBODY buy this before I weaken...................... Calvin is giving somebody a hell of an XMAS present......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth Herz Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The ivory grips have to stay in Texas correct? Or can than those be delivered across state lines with the proper "provenance" of the ivory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin N. Hobbes, 17218 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 As far as I know they can be shipped to any state. Came with the gun when purchased prior to ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Company, SASS #20195 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Why do you folks post on here about how this was so under priced? I think this was a nice Colt priced at a fair price. Colt 3rd gen about $1700 - $1800 tops. Ivory’s about $400-600. You did well Calvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Herz Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Calvin very fair price and very nice grips. Bad Company agree with you on price range for 3rd Gens......low round count/no turn line on cylinder condition can be consistently found in $1700-1800 range.....$3K for nickel 3rd gen SAA are rare exception to the rule.....like hitting the lottery exception to the rule.
