Description:

Manufactured with a special serial number for Adams & Adams Engravers, this revolver has been meticulously transformed into a replica of Theodore Roosevelt's iconic silver and gold plated Single Action Army. The revolver displays Nimschke style floral engraving on a punch dot background with zig-zag line, fan, and geometric accents as well as Roosevelt's signature "TR" monogram on the recoil shield. The triggerguard near the butt has been signed with Adams Jr.'s "intertwined JAJR" initials. The left side of the grip has a carved bison head with Roosevelt's monogram on the right side. Included with the revolver is an Adams & Adams letter confirming the caliber, barrel length, black powder frame, engraving, grip material and carving, and finish with a completion date of April 14, 2014. The letter further remarks that the revolver is part of their Nimschke tribute series and is an accurate depiction of Roosevelt's revolver. Includes a Colt blue box and original shipping carton.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall as embellished by Master Engraver John Adams Jr., retaining 99% plus silver and gold plating with limited handling marks, an attractive patina on the silver plating, and an nicely aged coloration on the grips. Mechanically excellent. Box and carton are both excellent.
