I looked up Colt's Serialization on-line for the SAA Colt production dates.
COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY - POST WAR PRODUCTION
___________________________________________________________
"SA" suffix 1956 - 1978 "SA" prefix 1978 - 1984
1976 (start of 3rd Generation of production) 1976 - 80000SA - 82000SA 1977 - 82001SA - 85999SA 1978 - 96000SA - 99999SA <<< <<<
Mid-1978 (start of "SA" prefix on front of serial number) 1978 - SA01000 - SA14808 ___________________________________________________________
If "this" information is correct your Colt SAA serial number SA9760X falls within the (early) 1978 3rd Generation Colt SAA numbers.
But your "SA" PREFIX should be an "SA" SUFFIX according to this list. You may want to recheck the revolver's Serial Number/"SA" location.

SA is a prefix. I am almost positive it is was made post 1984.

SA prefix production began in '78 and ended in '94 at SA99999. Your number would likely be '93 or '94 production.

Real close. I called Colt today and the person on the phone said 1992.
