Help identify model name of these USFA pistols

Here are some images:

Here are a couple more images.  I looked at some archive documents, and I think these are named by USFA - "The Single Action" pistols.  Is that correct?  They are consecutive SN.  One is 4.75" barrel, one is 7.5" barrel.

Joel,

Yes. I would say that by the placement of the trigger within the trigger guard, with the hammer down, these are all "Single Action" revolvers.

Well thank you Blair.  I'm not really certain what your response means, but I referenced this link:

http://web.archive.org/web/20070421033059/http://www.usfirearms.com/pdf/USFA_2007_catalog.pdf

and the model name in that document, as best I can tell, is "The Single Action".

Joel,

I do not recall registering on this board, and I don't normally report here. So, if the Moderator (or registered users) takes issue with my statements, please disregard and/or delete my message.

See if you can link to any original M-1877 small frame Colt, or to the M-1878 large frame Colt type revolvers,
This should give you some idea as to the trigger relationship within the trigger guard between SA & DA type revolvers.
Do your own research and see what you come up with?
My best,
Blair

I apologize for not being clear about my information request in my post.


The link I provided was a Catalog from USFA.  It has many different models of USFA single action pistols listed.   Here are some: - "The Cowboy", "The Rodeo", "The Gunslinger", "The U.S. Pre-War", "The Bisley", "The Sherrif's Model", and.. "The Single Action Revolver".  I know the difference between a DA and SA pistol.  I am trying to determine the model names of my USFA single action pistols.  The best match I can find in the linked USFA catalog is "The Single Action Revolver" model - page 15 of the linked catalog.  The catalog was found in a thread that the Moderator of this forum provided, so I assume it to be authentic.

They look like the Single Actions in the catalogue listing, but they have walnut, rather than hard rubber grips. I have an all-blue single action with hard rubber grips, but I ordered it that way. Perhaps the original buyer ordered walnut grips. You could order whatever you wanted by paying an extra fee.

I think for the purpose of logging the pistols in my FFL logs, I'm just going to put "SAA" -  that is what the box labels that came with the guns have listed as the model designation.  The Rodeo's and Cowboy I have had in the shop were easier to figure out.  Thanks for the help.

[hanover67]

The model designation on my box is "SA".

SA (Single Action) would be the model.  Although some of the pics remind me of a USFA Pre War (Colorcase & Armory Blue).  The Pre Wars were single actions with a different type of bluing.  Also the color case with the all the straw colors reminds me of a batch of guns that were sent to Classic Guns (IL) for color case. 

[Blair]

Never mind.
I now understand the question behind the original posting of this thread.
I apologize for my in involvement.
My best,
Blair

I believe Gary G is correct concerning the shop attributable for the application of case colors, clearly not Turnbull's work. Additionally the grips appear to be the Turkish Walnut that the USFA Custom Shop were at one time fitting. In any case, a handsome pair of SAs!
