I have a 1909 Colt saa in 45 cal. The issue is, Colt archives reports that is was manufactured as a 38/40. And sent to Novell Shapleigh Hardware in St. Louis, Mo.
My question is, did Novell do any gun smithing at the store. The gun is in impeccable condition so it was done by a pro, using Colt parts.
I understand that this was a very popular transition around this time as everyone wanted the larger caliber. How does this affect the value.
Thanks, Dan
