*RARE WILBUR GLAHN ENGRAVED COLT BISLEY SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

*RARE WILBUR GLAHN ENGRAVED COLT BISLEY SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER. SN 282422. Cal. 44 Russian & S&W Special. Blue and color case hardened with 5-1/2″ bbl. Full thick front sight & one-line block letter address with left side marked “(BISLEY MODEL) RUSSIAN AND / S&W SPECIAL 44”. Left side of the frame has 2-line 3-patent dates and Rampant Colt in a circle. Mounted with 2-piece Rampant Colt hard rubber grips. Revolver is engraved by Wilbur Glahn in his typical flowing foliate and floral patterns that have very fine pearled background with the frame having about 70% coverage. Matching engraving patterns extend up both sides of the bbl, top of the backstrap, buttstrap & trigger guard. Recoil shield, loading gate, top of the backstrap & buttstrap have Mr. Glahn’s distinctive V-shape patterns. Front strap, backstrap and trigger are beautifully checkered. Left side of the buttstrap, frontstrap and inside ejector housing are marked with the assembly No. 1074B. This indicates that this revolver was returned to the factory for restoration which is likely the time that Mr. Glahn was commissioned to engrave it. Accompanied by a Colt Factory Letter which identifies this revolver as a Bisley Model in Cal. 44 with 5-1/2″ bbl, blue finish, type of stock not listed and shipped to Schovering, Daly & Gales, NY, NY on Oct. 4, 1906. While this revolver was not originally factory engraved, it certainly was engraved by a factory engraver at the time it was returned for restoration. The bbl and cylinder were probably replaced at the same time. The bbl is quite rare with its dual caliber marking. CONDITION: Pristine, new and unfired. Retains virtually all of its crisp factory finish with bright blues and brilliant case colors. Grips are sound, showing light to moderate diamond point wear, and the right side turned a little chocolate. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-49404 JR302 (30,000-50,000)
