Collectibility of Colt New Frontier SAA

[5bassman]

Here’s another one from a family member needing info. This one seems to date from 1965 but sadly it was stored poorly so it has some rust specks. How desirable are these and what are they bringing these days? I know, the grips aren’t original and look bad but there are several in this collection that have these same brand fake pearl grips.

Can’t help with valuation, but hopefully y’all will find a box with the original grips for all the ones sporting the faux pearl.

For some reason, Frontiers don't generally bring as much as SAAs.

In my mind,it should be the other way around. Those Eliason Sights don't grow on trees.
But I'm no expert.
I just toy with the Idea it would be cool to have a gen2 in 357

However your gen 2 is the more desirable of the 3.

I told my nieces husband to look in his dad’s safe for any grips. There’s also a nice 1968 Colt Super 38 that has these same tacky grips.
