Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt New Frontier began with serial number 3000NF, which stayed in the Colt plant. The last of the 2nd Generation New Frontiers was in the 72XXNF serial number range, giving us slightly over 4,000 New Frontiers from 1961 to 1974. Four calibers were made in this first run of Colt Flat-Top Target sixguns. These were in chamberings of .45 Colt, .38 Special, .357 Magnum and .44 Special. According to Colt expert Don Wilkerson, the .38 Special is the rarest, followed by the .44 Special. Less than 100 .45 New Frontier Buntlines were also produced.
In 1978, The New Frontier went back into production with the 3rd Generation Colt Single Action Army. Serial numbers began at 01001NF, using five digits instead of four. In the last, and according to Colt, final run of New Frontiers, calibers were .45 Colt, .357 Magnum, .44 Special and .44-40. All the 2nd Generation New Frontiers were standardized with a finish of bright blue except for the case-hardened frame. The 3rd Generation New Frontiers can be found in full blue and nickel finishes, including nickel-plated Buntline New Frontiers in .45 Colt, .44 Special and .44-40. The .44-40 was available in the short barrel length of 4 3/4″, but according to our research there many not have been any .44 Specials offered in this length.
