1st generation SAA .357 with King short action job and King sights. Super rare from what the experts tell me. I have a request in to Colt for a factory letter. It has the original box which is for a 7 1/2" SAA. Rollmark reads "Colt Single Action Army .357", no "magnum" wording which indicates an original 1st gen. .357. This sixgun's authenticity speaks for itself. #357274 same on frame and grip frame.
EK probably would have converted it to another .44 Special but I'm OK with a "puny" .357!
The King sights and short action job along with the "cockeyed" hammer are alone worth the price of the gun IMHO. Trigger is wide and hand checked as is the hammer. I understand Dean King did each of these by hand, Enjoy (even though I do not even rate as a rank amature photogropher)!

About 70 years too late to register for the warranty
