Is the one in the top but I have never seen a SAA with lanyard loop

 

Better closer images would be best.

Anyone could add a Lanyard Loop or have a Gunsmith add one, to a Revolver which did not have one...even as anyone could Order a Revolver new, to have one.

But as far as this goes, I do not recall ever seeing a SAA with a Lanyard Loop, either.

 

Had a New York Militia SAA and a .450 Boxer SAA with lanyard rings.

 

As long as we are having fun on the OP's message, I would guess the top one is a colt SAA with the wrong grips and Lanyard loop

 

Many Artillery SAA's had the lanyard loop.

 

We can't answer without better pictures.

 

Have you already bought the SAA?

 

About 2 months ago I bought a 2nd Gen .357 SAA with a lanyard loop installed. Unfortunately, it is at the gunsmith right now or I'd post a picture, and I also have no idea who installed the loop.
Maybe it will be Colt installed instead of Bubba Shadetree deluxe. Maybe the moon will rise in the west.

As far as the lanyard loop yes the artillery SAA did have these. Have seen many pic's with them.

 

Thank you all, I have not buy the gun yet, the seller is asking me $400 I have send an email to Sam Lisker from Coltautos.com and this is his response:

Thanks for the photos. I do not believe this is an original Colt manufactured pistol as the dimensions are slightly different.

What is your opinion?

 

The Revolver to me looks a little 'off'...and or may well be some off-make or even a 'prop'...hard to tell much with the images provided.

Better, closer images - and close ups of any Texts stamped on to the Barrel or Frame - would really be best, to aid in making a determination as to what it is.

 

I have seen SAA Factory letters saying the gun was shipped with a lanyard ring.

 

Had New York militia that had a lanyard ring.

 

Lanyard not added by Colt. (pic from Collector's in TX)

 

I can say one thing for sure, the barrel is not a standard length available from the factory and has been cut.

 

Looks a lot like a 'Euskaro' - one of the many copies of Colts.

 

Unless it's a photo parallax error, look at the angle of the lower edge of the grip frame - it angles downward toward the front, like this copy. If you sat the grip frame flat on the counter, the barrel would be pointing upward. A Colt's barrel would remain level.

 

dadjx2, Lanyard not added by Colt, rear sight added, front sight reverse, barrel cut.

 

Thank you all, I have taken some more pictures of the pistol, and it really looks a little odd, I think it is a knock-off

 

Not a Colt. Save your money.

 

It is not a Colt just because he is asking only $400, in my opinion.

 

Hi you all again, I am using this thread for help, I am restoring and old single action army in 44-40 cal, and I have a doubt, does the ejector rod from a Colt SAA New Frontier in .22 cal fit this 44-40 ?


Thank you again;

 

Once the picture is blown up the whole gun looks a bit wonky. The front sight is not shaped right, the cylinder pin is too long, the grips are shaped wrong, lanyard loop, and funny looking angles on the frame and trigger guard. Of course the pictures are very poor so they may be contributing to the look.

 

Thanks for your help, I used this thread for a newer question haha, do you have some info about my new question: I am using this thread for help, I am restoring and old single action army in 44-40 cal, and I have a doubt, does the ejector rod from a Colt SAA New Frontier in .22 cal fit this 44-40

 

No

 

General George S. Patton's Colt SAA has a lanyard loop however I dont know if it was added after manufactor or not. I have a Uberti replica commemortive of that gun.

 

As johnh posted, absolutely not at all.

But the New Frontier (has target sights) SAA housing surely would, just the wrong vintage if your 44-40 is a 1st Gen.

 

Listen to the man. If you want to spend $400 you can get a really nice Cimarron and know what you have.
