This is cleary a colt SAA chambered in 38-40 with ivory grips. I really wish I knew the story with this. All I know is it was my grandpas. He passed when I was 14. Before his passing he spent a fair amount of time with me teaching me about firearm safety and how to hit a target . It was my understanding that after he passed, his firearms were sold to a friend of the family. However, after his wife, my grandma, passed 20 year later; There were several hand guns found wrapped in socks and stuffed in a drawer which where given to me. I was honored to have a few of his firearms that I thought were long gone.
The other one from him is more sentimental in value than anything, it is one of those CVA black powder kits from awhile ago that had never been completed and was beginning to rust. However @AndyinEverson and his friend were kind and generous enough to help finish it for me.
