LOW number USFAs

Virginia Gentleman · January 28, 2008, 12:10:48 PM

Who has some very low serial numbered USFA or USPFA guns? Just wondering.

How low are you looking for?
I've got a Rodeo that's #965, which came with case colored hammer. That's low compared to my SAA's in the 28,000 range.

My Rodeos are all in the 200's, and lowest Premium is 231XX. I know there are people with much lower than me.

Regarding the Rodeos, The first group went from A100 - A999. The second batch started with B, etc. As I remember there were no C's or F's. Rodeos with a G's are all 5 1/2", H's are 7 1'2", and K's are 4 3/4". A new run of 5 1/2" Rodeos has been started with the S prefix. Both Rodeo and Rodeo IIs are mixed in the serial # ranges. For example, K687 could be a Rodeo and K688 a Rodeo II. My memory is fading but I think Es were all 4 3/4" too.

My nickel BP framed, V groove site, what I would consider a Pre War because of the configuration not the finish, the serial number is 208XX.

On my SAA it is 223XX.

Howdy, I just got a pair of preowned/unfired Rodeos #K265, K266. Would this be considered early and is there a way to find date of manufacture ? Thanks, Red After rereading banjomans post maybe these are'nt to old.

I have these two low USFA serial number revolvers:

1851 Navy - Serial Number 305

1851 Navy Richards Conversion - Serial Number 2043

Both are in pristine New In Box condition.

I'm looking for a USFA 1860 Army to add to the collection. Anyone out there have one for sale???

Doc Sunrise · October 30, 2008, 06:53:41 PM

Aren't those Navies something. I have #320 and #346. I have yet to run into any other blackpowder model, but I am always searching.

Doc Sunrise · March 26, 2009, 06:41:34 PM

I have found an Engraved 1860 Army Richards Conversion with serial #105.
