Nice score DB. How long is the bbl, exactly? Are the screws slightly 'boogered'? It's hard to tell.
Very good condition for it's age. Notice the detail on the grips. They are worn but important details (like the eye on the rampant stallion) are still clearly visible, as is the checkering.
It has some surviving bluing, mostly in protected areas, but appears bright (maybe it is just the pics) on the right side of the bbl. The case hardened frame looks gorgeous.
The only detractor I can see (at this hour) is the filed down front sight. This is not uncommon, however.
Overall, it looks like an honest gun. Albeit in far better than average condition for it's age. Values are very tricky with Colt SAA's and often get down to minute details. It is the most collectable handgun in the world, and considered by many to be better than money in the bank. It is the type of item that should be appraised properly and insured to value.
If the numbers all match, and the bbl length is factory I think you have a very nice collectors piece on your hands. I'm no expert, only a minor collector. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.
BTW.. your holster making has really deteriorated.

My dad knew colts very well. You've got some serious cash in that gun. Dont underestimate its value.

That is the down side of it, they are rare as a Busse Folder
Found a guy in Medford WI who has them for 60.00 a box

Go buy a Ruger if you wanna shoot a six-gun. I would trade you even for one if it would help you out.
That one belongs in a safe. It would really suck if the guy that makes ammo for it double-charges a load and blows up your pistol... and maybe hand and face.
If there was ever such a thing as a safe queen, your SAA is it!!! :thumbup:
