USFA Serial Number Questioning

[Gun K1n6]

Can anyone help with an unusual USFA serial number?
200012.
Could this be a custom SN?
Is there any way to date this or determine if it's 100% USA?
Thank you.

Good photos would help.

Thanks for the reply Buckaroo Lou...
This is a general question about a six digit serial number (200012)and weather or not they existed or were solely custom. This is a premium USFA. CC/DB.

I'm no expert on USFA guns but I own a few and follow most everything I find to read or see discussed about them. I've never heard of a six digit serial number. Doesn't mean there never was one, just that I've never heard any mention of there ever being one.

YMMV,

I have a real nice high 5 digit numbered gun that is a Sheriffs model, BP frame with old Armory blue and factory stag grips. It is the highest serial numbered gun I have seen. I bought it at our local gun show back right about the time USFA shut down. All USA parts. The only safe queen I own.

Lou, go shoot it! (smiley face goes here)

I have three Gunfighter variants (I hate that name) and all three of them have serial numbers in the 58,000 range. Those are the highest numbers I've seen and that's a long, long way from the 200,000 range mentioned in the OP.

Dave, I would except I have three other 3 1/2" barrel revolvers to shoot. One USFA Storekeeper in a Rodeo II and two Uberti Sheriff models with the ejector shroud.

My apologizes to the OP. I didn't mean to hijack your original post.

So not that it matters any longer the USFA I was referencing with the six digit serial number is up on GI. I took too long and lost it to someone else.
For discussion I've attached an image to help answer the SN question.

Another image of this beautiful revolver. Boy do I know what I lost.

Ah, you didn't mention Bisley.  I'm wondering if those who said they haven't seen a 6-digit s/n are including Bisleys?  How much did it go for?

[Buckaroo Lou]

The reason I wanted photos is because by the photos the ejector shroud and cylinder flutes indicate a Uberti parts gun, possibly a USPFA if they had a Bisley back then, and that would explain the six digit serial number. Any photos of the barrel roll markings?

I once had a USPFA premium single action with a 7 1/2" barrel and I believe it had a six digit serial number. Not certain but I think it did.

Holy crap on a stick, that is literally my Holy Grail!!!

For you who are interested here is another one. It too looks to be a Uberti parts gun and a five digit serial number.

I guess we can assume that the extra cylinder is 45acp, although the ad doesn't actually say.

[Gun K1n6]

So I'm pitching this question again.
Does anyone have any information on a factory 6 digit serial number (200012) on a Bisley model?

Wondering if it was a custom SN at the customers request or factory issued.
I have never seen six digits before.

Thanks fellas.....

Gun K1n6,

I think the only person who might know would be Gary Granger. He is on this site as GaryG and I thought he might have chimed in by now. You might try to private message him if he doesn't chime in on this post.

[Gun K1n6]

Thank you!

Maybe the serial number matches the serial number of a Colt Bisley which was a 6 digit number?
My best guess.
