*WONDERFUL ENGRAVED COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER. Cal. 45 Colt. SN 351887. Nickel finish, 4-3/4″ bbl with Wilbur Glahn’s “B” or “C” engraving patterns consisting of flowing intertwined foliate and floral patterns with a very fine punch dot background.

It is fitted with spectacular 1-pc pearl grip with a raised carved Mexican eagle with snake on the right side and the initials “RGG” on the left side.
