Description:

This is a fine example of an antique Colt Single Action Army revolver that was manufactured in 1889 and subsequently fully custom engraved by Master Engraver David Harris in the traditional Texas cattle brand pattern pioneered by Cole Agee and carried on by Weldon Bledsoe. This highly desirable pattern was developed in the 1940/50s and depicted the more prominent and historic Texas cattle brands used in the 1880s and early 1900s. The engraving covers nearly all of the surface and is in the typical Western style with the recognizable "2 Lazy(sideways) 2 P" as well as many other famous Texas brands, all on a punch dot background. Harris signed the butt. The revolver has standard Colt markings and matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard, and back strap. Included with the revolver is a David Harris letter confirming the full cover Agee style cattle brand engraving.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as embellished by Master Engraver David Harris, retaining 99% plus of the brushed nickel finish with traces of a cylinder drag line and limited handling marks. The slightly oversized replacement grips are fine with limited handling marks and attractive colors. Mechanically excellent.
