This magnificent set of Colt Single Action Army revolvers was engraved by highly regarded Master Engraver Ben Lane Jr. Each gun in the set displays gorgeous near full coverage floral scroll engraving over a matted background for contrast along with dual gold inlaid bands at the muzzle, breech, and rear of the cylinder, as well as gold borders around the hammer and sides of the frame. Both guns also display a detailed semi-relief inlaid bison on the loading gate and a bust of a Native American warrior opposite it on the recoil shield. The guns are signed on their respective butts "BEN LANE JR. - ENGRAVER" in a banner set amongst scroll, and the backstraps are inscribed "John F. Bickley". The guns are both fitted with a highly attractive set of ivory grips with scrimshawed "JFB" monograms on the right panel for gun "A" and the left panel for gun "B". Included with the set is a two gun presentation style case with brass plaque reading "Colt Single Action Army 45's/serial numbers/44644 44645/Engraved Especially For JOHN F. BICKLEY/By/Ben G. Lane Jr./Amarillo Texas/1976" along with a badge made from a Mexican coin reading "JOHN F. BICKLEY/LOCKNEY/TEXAS/TEXAS RANGER COMMER. COMM." The identity of Mr. Bickley is uncertain, though there is a John F. Bickley Jr. and a John F. Bickley III whom were active members of the community at the time of presentation in this area, though which man received these guns remains a mystery.

Excellent overall as custom engraved by Ben Lane Jr., retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with minor handling evidence and slight spot minor discoloration on the grip were it contacts the case lining. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine.

As described in "A".

Mechanically excellent. A great chance to own a set engraved by one of the 20th century's finest master engravers!
