Senior Member Posts: 1,773 | You might get a larger audience of SAA experts over on the Colt forum. Colt Forum An 1873 Colt SAA would not have silver medallions in the grips. That came MUCH later, probably in the post-WWII days. In 1873 only 7 1/2' barrels were available and the barrel would have the Colt company address on the barrel. I have seen replicas with a slightly altered Colt Pony emblem. In any case, post on the Colt forum and some pros will help. To post pictures on the Colt forum: Sign up and start a post.
