Couple years ago when I traded a Redhawk for my nickel Smith 19-4 the seller said an old gentleman friend had a Pre-war Colt SAA for sale. I was sent a picture of it and was stunned to see a beautiful stag handled long flute .45 with a barrel cut (ugg!) to about 6”. I asked the price and it was something like $3500. He was a collector and knew what he had. I couldn’t afford it.
