I’m gonna guess $2500 To $3000. To bring top dollar to a Colt Collector, they want them new in the box. Unfired. Unfortunately, yours is no longer in that condition. Once you shoot it. No matter how clean they are, they’re still only a 95 % rated gun. Last edited by chlinstructor; 10/07/21. "Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..."

Fellow could buy a nicer shooter say a Ruger for less than a thousand dollars. Myself I would not pay over $1500 to $2000 just to say I have a Colt

But 2nd Gen Single Action Army revolvers in nice shape like that, with a factory nickel finish, with box and papers, are a good bit more desirable to Colt collectors, and thus bring significantly higher prices these days. PS Here's the 3rd Gen Colt SAA I bought last year for $1,600.00. It was made in the middle to late 2000s, and has the removable cylinder bushing. Earlier 3rd Gens had one piece cylinders. Enough Colt SAA fans complained that they eventually went back to the old fashioned two piece, with removable bushings. The 3rd Gens with removable bushings go for a premium vs the early 3rd Gens.

Mrhp, you need to put yours up on gunbroker. Start the bidding at $3,750.00. You'll get over $4,000.00 for it.

A gun collector wouldnt want the gun he has because it has been shot. Nothing really rare about it other the the Colt name stamped on it...yet I'm supposed to pay some collector price for a shooter ?
