*PAIR OF ELABORATE CASED GOLD WASHED COLE AGEE STYLE ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVERS.

SN 214590 & 230941. Cole Agee was a famous Texas engraver from the 1930s until his death in 1955. He was famous for simulating famous Texas cattle brands into his patterns and this pair are classics. Guns are SN 214590 and 230941 made originally in 1901 and 1902. Guns currently have 6 1/2″ barrels which is customary for the guns. Guns are mounted with gold and silver Mexican style 2-pc grips. Both guns have fairly full coverage with foliate swirls, stipple background, longhorn heads and various brands including his repeated signature brand “2 lazy 2 P” on every other panel between flutes on each cyl. This lot is accompanied by a book on Cole Agee engraving, published in 2004 by Jink Howard. CONDITION: Gold wash is almost totally intact with few minor areas of wear. The guns were worn before they were refinished so there are scattered areas of pitting beneath the plate and engraving. Stocks are fairly well fit but there are gaps between frame and topstrap. Grips each have 15 or 16 gold braised inlays of various content including connected flowers, horseshoe and horse head and Indian heads. Casing seems contemporary with guns with blue felt lining. 4-50318 JS196 (12,500-22,500) – Lot 1361
