*FINE FACTORY ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 335551. Cal. 45 Colt. Nickel finish with 4-3/4″ bbl, full front sight, 2-line address and caliber marking on left side. Left side of frame has 2-line 3-patent dates and rampant Colt without a circle. Mounted with factory pearl grips that have deep silver left & right medallions. Revolver is engraved probably from the Cuno Helfricht shop with about “B” coverage foliate arabesque patterns on frame and large sunbursts on recoil shield & loading gate. Bbl boss on front of frame has a hunters star on each side with another on ejector rod housing boss. Top strap and ejector rod housing gullet are engraved with snake & dot patterns which are also around the recoil shield and in the front gullets. Top of backstrap has a simple, stylized fan with geometric patterns at top of backstrap and on the heel. Cylinder is engraved with geometric patterns on lands between the flutes and a snake & dot pattern at rear edge. Serial number was observed in usual places on frame, trigger guard & buttstrap with last three digits of SN on rear face of cylinder between two chambers. Last four digits of SN are on bbl under ejector rod housing and inside the ejector rod housing. The presence of the SN’s on bbl & ejector rod housing are indications of a factory restored finish, although there are no factory restoration marks on revolver. Accompanied by two Colt factory letters to two different individuals dated 1983 & 1994. Both identify this revolver as found in 45 caliber with nickel finish, pearl grips and factory engraving, shipped to Stauffer Eshleman & Co., New Orleans, Louisiana on April 11, 1917. One letter shows it as a one gun shipment and the other indicates it was a shipment of four same-type guns. CONDITION: Very fine. Overall retains most of a fine factory-style restored finish with some flaking around muzzle and a couple of spots of dark patina. Grips have some repaired age flakes, one on left side at the medallion and the other on right bottom edge, otherwise grips are sound with great fire & color. Mechanics are crisp, strong bright bore with some fine frosting. 4-39004 JR190 (15,000-20,000)
