Description:

This revolver features near full coverage floral scroll engraving on a punch dot background and pearl grips featuring a jeweled eyed relief carved steer head on the right panel. It was masterfully embellished by Weldon Bledsoe. Bledsoe is most famous for his cattle brand motif, but like any other great engraver he occasionally did other designs which is the case with this revolver. The engraving is discreetly signed by Bledsoe amongst the scrollwork on the sideplate. The included factory letter states the revolver was shipped on May 22, 1967 to John P. Mull Jr of Arizona (no city listed in the factory records) with a 2 inch barrel, bright polish finish, dark casehardened hammer and trigger and checkered walnut grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as master embellished by Weldon Bledsoe with minimal handling marks and crisp engraving. The grips are also very fine with crisp carving and highly attractive fiery colors. Mechanically excellent.
