CASED ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1862 POLICE REVOLVER WITH TIFFANY STYLE GRIPS.

CASED ENGRAVED COLT MODEL 1862 POLICE REVOLVER WITH TIFFANY STYLE GRIPS. Cal. 36. SN 30733. Usual configuration with 5-1/2″ rnd bbl, 5-shot fluted rebated cylinder, brass trigger guard with a reproduction silver plated Tiffany style grip. The bbl, frame, hammer & trigger guard are engraved in early Gustave Young style with light foliate arabesque patterns including Young’s trademark wolf’s heads on each side of the hammer nose. The engraving also incorporates Young’s trademark flower blossom in the center of several of the scrolls. The serial numbers on the bbl, frame & trigger guard all have a small “E” above or below them signifying factory engraving. The grip is beautifully done in very fine detail depicting an American eagle with wings raised covering the entire back area of the grip. The eagle is clutching laurel leaves in its talons. The ends of the leaves lead into deep relief foliate arabesque patterns that have a fine stippled background. The case is a modern rendition made of nicely figured walnut with an oval multi-colored inlay in the lid. It is lined in red ultra-suede and French fitted in the bottom for the revolver, a 1-sided Colt’s patent flask and a nickel plated iron 2-cavity Colt’s patent bullet mold. It also has a lacquered Eley Bros. cap tin and a lidded compartment in the corner. CONDITION: Very good to fine, all matching including the wedge, except the grip which is unnumbered. The bbl, frame & cylinder are cleaned bright metal with a few spots of scattered surface rust and a few dings on the bbl. The trigger guard retains traces of original silver and the grip is crisp and new. Mechanics are a little soft but functional. Strong bright bore with light pitting. The case is fine with the lining slightly faded. The flask is clean with no original finish and one small dent and some handling marks. The mold is plated over some light fine rust. 4-53454 JR835 (2,000-3,000)
