DO you folks remember

I bought a pistol at auction and under the grip was the guys name and SS number.

Was the gun a 3rd generation S.A.A?

Just to follow up on this thread where I never got an answer to my question, I sold my Colt 3rd generation SAA with a 7 1/2" barrel and black eagle grips long ago in the 1980's and would love to buy it back again if you gun is the same one. The name under the grip is scratched "Lt. Fred Gaarde" and then my social security number which I can provide to the current owner. If it's the same gun, would you like to sell it back to me? I'll give you a nice profit!
