Real hard to place a value on a Colt SAA without a serial number that has also been reblued.

We don't know the year, no serial number.

We don't know if it was a Colt factory reblue or who did what to it and why the serial number would have been removed.

It also looks odd the way the barrel is ground near the front sight. Could be that it was in bad shape, rusted badly and that took place to clean it up. That doesn't look as if the work was done by Colt to me.

If it had a serial number it could be dated. Or you could contact Colt for some history of it.

I'm not saying it is...but there are a few fakes floating around the world also.

I'm certainly no SSA expert, I have owned a few, so hopefully someone else be check in here with more info.
