FINE CUSTOM ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER.

FINE CUSTOM ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. SN 125876. Cal. 45 Colt. Nickel finish with 4-11/16″ bbl apparently re-crowned from a 4-3/4″ length, thick front sight. Bore is conventionally rifled with six narrow lands & wide grooves. It has 3rd type ejector rod housing with crescent ejector rod head. Mounted with very beautiful orig Colt left & right silver medallion pearl grips. This revolver is engraved in a combination of styles including the Cuno Helfrecht sunbursts on recoil shield & loading gate with his stylized sunburst at top of back strap. Balance of revolver has about 50% coverage fine foliate arabesque patterns with a stippled background. Ejector rod housing has a snake and dash & dot pattern. Cylinder is engraved to match revolver with simple line borders around flutes with foliate arabesque patterns alternating on lands between flats and a double fine border at rear edge.

Cylinder is a modern replacement with rampant Colt between flutes on rear edge & number “4231” around cylinder bushing hole on front face.

This is evidenced by small amount of wear from ejector rod head on bbl which has exposed some of copper finish. CONDITION: Very fine to extremely fine. Overall retains virtually all of its fine custom plated finish. Grips have a few very minor chips on heels & bottom of right side with a slightly chipped left toe, otherwise are beautiful & sound with wonderful color & fire. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore. 4-33755 (4,000-7,000)
