*ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

*ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 189856. Cal. 32 WCF (32-20). Nickel finish with 5-1/2″ bbl, altered front sight and 1-line block letter address with caliber marking on left side. Left side of frame has 2-line 3-patent dates and the rampant Colt in a circle. Mounted with extraordinary Chinese carved 2-pc ivory grips with deep relief, elaborately carved dragons that have pearl & blue gemstone eyes. The left grip has a Chinese signature at the toe. Revolver is engraved in Wilbur Glahn style, probably in the Orient, with full coverage foliate arabesque patterns with fine punch dot background. Engraving covers most of the bbl with only a strip down the top and around the muzzle unengraved. Hammer, cyl, back strap, butt strap and trigger guard are matching engraved in nearly full coverage. Ejector rod housing is also engraved in matching foliate arabesque patterns on the outer radius with feather patterns in the top & bottom gullets. All the screws are engraved in checkered patterns. Revolver may have been gold washed at one time over the nickel plating which was applied over copper plating which is now exposed in some areas. Altogether rather pleasing engraving with spectacular grips. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Overall retains 75-80% nickel finish with exposed copper on bbl, back strap & front strap with more exposed copper on cylinder. Grips are extremely fine showing light wear and retain a wonderful yellow ivory patina. Hammer is not solid in safety notch and timing needs adjusting, otherwise mechanics are fine, worn dark bore. 4-40843 JR180 (3,000-5,000)
