Description:

Manufactured as a collaboration between Turnbull Restoration and John Adams & Son to replicate Theodore Roosevelt's iconic silver and gold plated Single Action Army revolver. This revolver is number 19 of the 25 made. The barrel features a wavy line engraved band at either end of the barrel with a spray of floral scroll surrounding the barrel address. The rear band extends onto the ejector rod housing which displays more floral scroll as well as a wavy line and dot motif on top. The frame and sides of the triggerguard show near full coverage floral scroll and geometric engraving with leaves on the topstrap and Roosevelt's famous "TR" monogram on the recoil shield. There is a fan engraved on the top of the backstrap with floral scroll down the back and onto the butt. The cylinder features a band of engraving at the rear with floral scroll between the flutes. The work is signed with John Adams Sr.'s signature connected "JA" initials on the rear of the frame under the carved grips. The whole of the barrel, frame, triggerguard, and backstrap are silver plated with a gold plated ejector rod housing, cylinder, and hammer. Includes a commemorative Turnbull Restoration case, original shipping box, and Colt blue box.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original silver and gold finishes with an attractive patina on the silver, crisp engraving, and an attractive coloration on the grips. Case is excellent. This attractive revolver would make a standout piece in any collection!
