Wts gen 1 colt saa with letter

[Trigger Mike 749]

I have a colt saa with a colt letter that says it was made sep 17 1898.  The original rubber grip has been replaced with stag by a previous owner.   The 4 3/4 barrel was replaced with a 5 1/2 barrel by a previous owner.   Numbers on bottom of grip match the 2 numbers under the frame.  The gate has a different number.   The hammer has 4 clicks and the cylinder barely moves when cocked.  I want $2,500 shipped and insured.   Btw, barrel shines.

Just a FYI, the number on the gate is a bin number and as such was not part of the serial numbering of the firearm.

I'm going to guess this Colt SAA is chambered in .44-40, since you didn't state the caliber in your ad. The Colt letter sez it was shipped as a .44-40, but since the barrel was changed, the caliber could have been changed too.

First picture, on the barrel, is stamped "Frontier Six Shooter". This is what Colt put on the 44wcf.

Make me a decent offer.  When I first put it up for sale I was about to go under financially due to the economy crashing from virus panic.  Things have gotten better now but now my 3 oldest are joining the schools shotgun team.  I have to provide the shotguns and I do not have any appropriate shotguns.
