As you have learned, that is not a Colt SAA. It is a copy of a Colt, made in Mexico. They were quite common in the 1800s, and there are several key features that point to this fact. As such, it's worth very little. Even if in excellent condition, they only sell for a few hundred dollars. Basically they are fakes, similar to a lot of clone guns that came out of Pakistan the past 30 years. If you go to the Colt collector's forum, you'll learn more. I see you are trying to sell this Mexican clone as a "1873 Single Action Pinch Frame #71" for $10,000 on gunbroker. Someone would be very mistaken to believe that is what it is, or to pay a fraction of that amount. A genuine first generation in that condition (very poor, with 0% original finish) has a value of about $900-1500. A copy is below that, and a refinished one (costing the person doing it about $1000) worth about the same.

There is no need to send this obvious fake to Colt or anyone else. Except maybe to the district attorney for Forsyth County if it is sold. Gweedo, you have made it to arguably the best web sight for information on Colts. You are quit the joke of the Colt world at the moment. And to bring Doug Turnbull in on your scam???? Really??? Since this has been reported to Gunbroker I am sure you will be closed down soon. Admins of this sight, isn't there something that can be done about fakes and scammers on here?

Depending on cost, I'd send it to Mexico to be definitive.
