I have an un-turned NIB one of these in 7 1/2 in. barrel. I understand Colt did not make very many of these and even sold the machinery to make them, which means they are unlikely to ever make these again. Will they ever see a surge in value in the next 20 years?

    Only on the basis of them being rare and that it is a NIB Colt made gun. It was undesirable at the time of manufacture because it was a Ruger Blackhawk in Colts'clothing at a higher price and not a copy of the original flattop SAA at all.While they are probably great shooters, I believe the style of front and rear sights killed it in the eyes of SAA lovers.Sales of the Vaquero have really taken off because they preserved the Colt SAA look but collectors value will probably be nil in 20 years.
