*WONDERFUL CONSECUTIVE NUMBERED PAIR OF CUSTOM ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVERS. SN 60977SA & 60978SA. Cal. 45 Colt. Revolvers are identical with silver finish, 4-3/4″ bbls, thick front sights and 1-line block letter addresses with “COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45” on left sides. Left sides of the frames have 2-line 3-patent dates and rampant Colt in a circle. They are mounted with wonderful, smooth, 1-pc ivory grips. Revolvers are very nicely engraved by master engraver Dan Cullity, with about “B” coverage fine foliate arabesque patterns on the frames, bbls, back straps, butt straps, trigger guards and ejector rod housings. Top of back straps are inlaid with large smooth gold shields that are engraved with the stylized Colt “C”. SN was observed on bottoms of the frames, on left sides of the front & back straps with the last two digits of the SNs in the butt strap channels of the grips. Bottoms of the bbls, under the ejector rod housings, inside the ejector rod housings and on faces of cylinders around the cylinder bushing holes are hand stamped with the last three digits of the SNs. Left sides of front straps are engraved “-WDC-“, the initials of W. Dan Cullity, former Colt master engraver who worked for Colt 1969-1972. A check with the Colt factory records disclosed that these pistols were shipped as a pair in 45 caliber with 4-3/4” bbls, blue finish and rubber stocks to Pete’s Gun Shop, Falmouth, MA, William Harvey on Nov. 19, 1971 in a 2-gun shipment. Note: Pete’s Gun Shop and Dan Cullity’s shop were near to each other and it is known that Mr. Harvey was a close friend of Mr. Cullity and frequently commissioned work by him. Conversation with Mr. Cullity disclosed that these two revolvers were the last work that he did for Colt on a special commission after he had retired from Colt. PROVENANCE: Private Coll. of a Gentleman. Colt Factory Letter. CONDITION: Extremely fine plus, all matching including grips, both revolvers. They appear to both be new & unfired with only a faint hint of a cyl line. Grips are crisp with an age line or two and retain a light ivory patina. 4-41901 JR193 (9,000-14,000)
