*ELEGANT CASED MASTER ENGRAVED COLT NEW FRONTIER REVOLVER WITH NICKEL FINISH AND FACTORY LETTER.SN 3000NR. Cal. .45 Colt. 7 1/2″ bbl Master engraved Steve Kamyk in scroll and vine motif in the tradition and style of Cuno Helfricht, w/a magnificent flying eagle scene on right recoil shield. The coverage of engraving amounts to what would be considered D coverage. Deep, lustrous nickel finish over the gun’s entirety w/exception of the Eliason target adjustable rear sight. Dual eagles heads are depicted on both sides of the nickel hammer. This cased New Frontier single-action was shipped Jan. 2 of 1962 to Mr. Fred Roff, President of Colt Patent Firearms Co., Hartford, Ct. This was by no doubt a prized custom engraved revolver and probably made for presentation by the President of Colt. Factory letter that accompanies this revolver does not indicate the engraving nor the 2-pc checkered ivory grips. However, the finish and embellishments appear to have been done by the factory. Steve Kamyk was a note Master Engraver for Colt and Engraved a number of firearms specifically for the president of Colt Firearms. These have been recorded in the factory ledgers and observed by us in the past. CONDITION: Extremely fine overall condition w/no indication of use. Bore and cylinder appear to have never been fired, grips fit perfectly and show no signs of distress or material loss. No turn line is evident on cylinder, so to prevent damage mechanics were not tested. Colt monogrammed display glass-fronted display case is equally fine and appears factory new.The revolver itself is signed by Master Engraver Steve Kamyk on the interior of the loading gate.
