No quality problems from that era--just some final finishing and smoothness of the action is not as nice as previous SAA's. Cubrock is mighty close because if you look around you can find them NIB at about that price, but you did not mention: 1.) Are they NIB? 2.) If not, do they have the boxes? 3.)...

If the gun was manufactured before 1968, there is no law that says you have to have a serial number on it. But at the same time, if a gun deliberately had it's numbers messed with, I do believe thats not a good thing. If you can still read it, even with a magnifying glass, leave it alone. If its a m...
