Value of Colt

[Cofisher]

A friend has a Colt SAA in 38-40 he will be selling. He would like to get an idea of the value. The serial# is 236xxx for dating. If you can give me any info, it would be appreciated. DM me if interested.

Thanks, Jim

Interesting. This may help. Seems like a collector's item: https://www.genitron.com/Handgun/Colt/R ... /Variant-1
