"OK, is the subject gun of this posting a very late gun ? It's trigger plate is color case hardened, or could it be redone ? I thought one photograph "might" show the trigger plate shrunk away from the receiver a bit. Could just be the light or?"
Daryl (and all):
My memory has failed me again, so I stand corrected and apologize to all. I actually have pix of two late high-conditioned SAC guns (B Grade #36205 and un-graded #37398) that both show color cased trigger plates. The Grade B gun appears to have a niter blued trigger guard; and the un-graded gun appears to also have a color cased trigger guard. I believe the ungraded gun (the most unusual SAC gun I've ever seen by the way) was certainly made near the bitter end of production; so it does appear that SAC elected to change their trigger plate and trigger guard treatment at some point near the end of production, and that thought had never occurred to me prior to this discussion.
PS: I've asked, and if Ken61 will agree to do so on my behalf, I'll post pix of these two referenced SAC guns
