Colt SA 2nd generation beginning serial number ??
« on: January 14, 2007, 03:27:39 AM »
Would a knowledgable member be so kind as to tell me what serial number the 2nd generation Colt SAs started with?
Was it SA0001 or a higher number?
Got side tracked on another quest and this question popped into my head after many years of wondering.
Thanks in advance for advisory information.

The first 2nd gen was in 1956, SN 0001SA.  The next serial number change (3rd gen?) is in late 1978 at SA01001

Flint,
Was just wondering about that.
Gave a friend a 38 Special back in early 70's.
I'd have sworn it had a serial number of 2513SA but kept seeing SAxxxx etc.
Appreciate the feed back.
Thanks.
