Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 These were offered to SASS members during the mid-late 90's. They came out of the custom shop with the purchasers SASS number as the serial number. ie., SASS38564, etc. There were less than 100 produced before Colt stopped doing this. This one is in 45 with 5.5" bbl. Gun is unfired ex for Colt test firing, in blue custom shop box with it's paperwork and lock. Really nice deep bluing with vibrant case colors. Offering it to a SASS member before it goes off to Gunbroker... $2250 plus shipping
JJ “Reb” Wainwright 110206 Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Never seen one of these before. Very cool. JJ
Warden Callaway Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Has it got the regular Colt action or Cowboy?
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 9, 2021 Author Posted September 9, 2021 Regular colt action and still available
Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Beautiful case coloring, awesome!! It'll sell quick. (I'm not looking right now though, I have 4 in .357)
Tom Payne 13115 Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 OK but you advertise it as a SASS gun. What is the ser# on the gun?? They can't let it out of the factory without a ser#. Mine has my SASS # SASS13115. Mine is a 38-40. Got it on my birthday!!
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Posted September 10, 2021 I clearly said is has a serial number with SASS as it’s prefis as in SASS XXXXX I do not however know who originally ordered it from Colt which is what you asked.
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 10, 2021 Author Posted September 10, 2021 Here's a pic of the partial serial number...sorry I don't give out serial numbers in advance! I NEVER said it was un serialed , don't know how some would even think that. I clearly said it came in the blue Colt Custom shop box, it does not have a white over sleeve. I assume the original owner never kept it, or as it was a special order might not have come with one ? Box has no tears but has some scuffing on top from storage I assume. Thanks for looking.
Dantankerous Posted September 10, 2021 Posted September 10, 2021 Just having SASS on it is pretty neat no matter if the rest of the serial ain't even close to your own member number.
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 11, 2021 Author Posted September 11, 2021 Thanks that’s whatI thought I’ll cover the shipping if that helps

Trigger Mike Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 I was hoping this would sell better than it has since I have a Colt SAA I was hoping to get rid of sometime soon.
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 17, 2021 Author Posted September 17, 2021 Mike: I can get more on gunbroker but then there's fees and now sales tax to the buyer. I wanted this to go to a SASS member but there's always gunbroker, or I'll just hang onto it.
Warden Callaway Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Nice gun at a nice price. The right person just ain't seen it yet. If I had it in my hands... not sure what I'd do. But I'm a shooter, not a collector. Kind of saving my play money for singe action made before 1900.
Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Posted September 19, 2021 Thank you good sirs for the positive feedback. Anything less I'm losing money!! Guess I'll just keep it! Dang life is hard!! Anybody got a nice 5.5" 45 so I could pair it up??
Trigger Mike Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 I have a NIB 5.5 . Evidently the store I bought it from let someone turn it as there is a faint occasional drag mark on the cylinder. I could do $1,925 plus shipping that I can get tomorrow.
JD Packis Posted September 24, 2021 Posted September 24, 2021 I just joined SASS and saw you post - Is this still available?
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 This have the removable bushing in the cylinder ?
Neches 50502 Posted September 26, 2021 Posted September 26, 2021 This is one beautiful single action. Mighty good price to.
Henly Posted September 29, 2021 Posted September 29, 2021 I will take that six gun... call or text any time... 512.799.1090
