A friend has a Colt SAA in 38-40 he will be selling. He would like to get an idea of the value. The serial# is 236xxx for dating. If you can give me any info, it would be appreciated. DM me if interested.
Thanks, Jim

One place shared this info for the 38-40.

Excellent condition -- 95% condition - $20,000

Very Good condition ------ 80% condition - $12,000
Good+ condition ------------70% condition - $9,500
