July 2, 1972 is one of the patent dates on the frame of the SAA.  Also Sept. 19, 1871.  Some also have Jan. 19, 1875.  Do a Google image search.

Thank you sir, so it wasn't a OT ? BUT a .45 SSA,,73 model?

Presumably a Model 1873 SAA -



As already noted, patent dates on a SAA should be on the frame, not the barrel ...
