Help with a firearm question

[guruatbol]

I inherited a Colt SAA never fired in a commutative wood box. The manuals all say 1978 on them so probably at least that old.

Serial number is SA229xx and the Colt website doesn't list it. It is a .44 special.

I've done some searching and can't come up with a value.

Anyone of you cowboy shooter types have any ideas for me?

Also got a Blackhawk never fired, a bearcat .22 never taken out of the plastic and a North American Arms .22 mag deringer. Oh, and a .45 LC Cimirron SAA copy and a Uberti I gave him years ago as a gift with a very, very, very light trigger pull.

I'm holding a 1873 30-30 that if to be handed down to my Grandson at some point that was my wife's Grandfather's.

Cool stuff. Going to have to clean out my safe.

Did you check this site? http://www.colt.com/Customer-Services/Serial-Number-Lookup

They have a number to contact if it's not listed there.

Also, there's this: http://www.colt.com/Customer-Services/Archive-Services

I did and it doesn't.

I did call Colt and it was made in 1979.

It seems it is not a commemorative issue. The box might of been the one sold with it but not a factory box.

I'll post pics tonight.

Next I'll take it to one of the more reputable shops and get it appraised.
