I know more Colt Smiths that are fans than collectors simply because they make good money fixing Munden colts back to Colt configurations. I’m sure they are out there, but pretty rare. Yes it’s smooth, but it kind of defeats the purpose of paying top dollar for a Colt. You’ll be hard pressed to find a colt collector that wants a Munden gun. Right or wrong, Munden basically turns a colt into a ruger with the coil mainspring and a bunch of other undesirable features. What you need is a COLt collector who wants a Munden gun!!! SASS members are always looking to buy low so they under value ! Or start it at $2000 with a $2500 reserve I believe as said above you can find them lower, ie the $1650 mentioned but they are a rarity!! Sure it’s not a purist SAA but that’s like saying a bill Wilson 1911 is not worth what a GI 1911 is worth!? Who here shoots stock SAA’s? Saying a Munden action devalues it is not quite correct. I personally would NOT take less than $2500 and I’ve owned and sold a couple SAA’s Pairs $4600-$4800Ī plain jane nickel SAA around here nets you $2200 or so then figure in the grips and the action job.
