Yeah, Dad always said they might fall apart if they were taken off.  Scares the hell outta me.

Thanks ShotgunDave.  I came by my love of these smokewagons honest.  Is there anything better?  I'd love to shoot the 1st gen 32-20 but I'm a little afraid that the pearl grips will fall apart.  I have a rule that I won't own anything I can't shoot.  I might just have to switch that bull head out with some black rubber and give her a spin.

Thanks guys.  A pic of Pop from a magazine article.  He was a lawman down in Mississippi.  I still have his service pistol too (not pictured).

1st Gen 32-20.  My Grandfather bought it in New Mexico in the 50's.  Colt Archives say it was shipped to the Witte Hardware Co in St Louis in 1922.

Dad made and sold custom stocks/grips (as you can probably tell..lol)  He loved these old wheel guns, especially the Colts.  Just sharing...

Thanks for the warm welcome!  I will post pics after this weekend...because if there "aren't pics then it didn't happen"?  Lol, great line btw.  I look forward to great wheelgun fellowship and future communications.

I just inherited several SAA pistols and 1911's.  There was a first Gen, several 2nd Gens and some 3rd Gen SAA's.  One 2nd Gen in particular has a double stamped Colt Emblem.  My father treasured it because he saw it as something special and different.  As difficult as it is, some of the pistols have to be sold to set up a trust fund for grandchildren.  This one could be on the chopping block.  Any idea if this factory spoof helps or hurts the street value?  Thanks for any response.
