John Adams Triple Signed Master Engraved Colt Third Generation Single Action Army Revolver with Carved Steer Head Grips and Box

Manufactured in 1992 and subsequently engraved by Master Engraver John Adams. The barrel has a single band at the muzzle and at the frame with a spray of floral scroll from either end with the barrel markings on individual panels. Even the front sight on this revolver is engraved. The frame shows approximately 85% coverage floral scroll with a burst coming off the cylinder pin release, another burst on the ejector rod housing, a fan on the recoil shield and loading gate, and patent dates on a ribbon. The cylinder, triggerguard, and back strap are engraved to match. The work is signed twice on the back strap under the grip and once on the bottom of the barrel "J. ADAMS" with the addition of "6.7.95" between the back strap signatures. Fitted with a set of carved steer head grips with pierced sections where the horns curl. Includes a shipping carton and Colt blue box.

ConditionExcellent as embellished by Master Engraver John Adams, retaining 99% plus original nickel finish with limited handling marks, spots of oil staining, crisp engraving, and an attractive coloration on the grips. Mechanically excellent. Box is very fine.
