I recently inherited a 1st Generation Colt SAA (serial no. 19xxx). I've done enough research in the past week to recognize that I don't know anything about these pistols insofar as determining its "blue book" condition (10%, 20%, 30% etc.)
The cylinder has a fair amount of "play" or "slack", and there is a fair amount of rust/pitting on the finish. But I don't know how much of this is to be expected in a handgun made in 1875.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
