Description:

Produced in the mid to late 1920's, from an oil painting "Tex and His Horse, Patches" by Frank Schoonover, which depicts a western lawman on his horse, a Colt Single Action Army revolver with ornate grip visible on his hip, amid desert scenery. This print is the scarce Spanish version with "REVOLVERES y PISTOLAS AUTOMATICAS" above "COLT" at the top, "Frank E. Schoonover" signature and the date "'25" visible in lower right corner, with "Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co./Hartford, Connecticut, U.S.A." markings in the lower middle. Mounted in an ornate wooden frame measuring approximately 48 1/4 x 34 3/4 inches, with the viewable area of the advertisement measuring approximately 32 3/4 x 19 inches. Being in a sealed frame, we are unable to determine if the print has been trimmed. Provenance: The Brig & Louise Pemberton Collection

Rating Definition:

Very fine, the print itself shows distinct original imagery and vibrant color with almost no wear or fading. The frame is also very fine with some minor storage handling marks. A fantastic Colt advertising piece to enhance your gun room!
