1873 Hartford colt by ASM question?

Is anyone here familiar with ASM's hartford colt, model 1873SAA? I just bought one on Gun Auction and I'm trying to find out either manuactures date or when they were inported. This one is like brand new, never fired in 45 colt cal.
Its twice as nice as the auction pics. locks up tight, smooth trigger pull. Nicely finished dark bluing and case hardedned steel frame.. 7 1/2 barrel.
Any info would be appreciated.
