You need the markings on each side of the slide, each side of the frame, including the area on the left side around the trigger area of the frame, similarly, from the SAA, the bottom of the butt, in front of the trigger guard, and the sides of the bbl.

No one can usually ID what you have from so little info. Closeup pics (macro feature) are helpful as well. The single action could be a winner or a clone. Who knows without quality pics and more info.

With 4 rounds in the magazine, you need to ensure the bore is safe if he gave it to you as shown.

Hope this helps...

For the 1911, you should check the serial number against proofhouse or one of the other online databases. Or, you can call Colt during EST business hours (besides lunch) and they can tell you when it was made etc.
