The top of the barrel is marked with the standard one line address, the left side "COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45" and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the Rampant Colt. The revolver is fitted with checkered ivory grips and a gold buttcap which is engraved with a floral scroll pattern around the edge and a crest in the center with a banner below which reads "SANS PEUR" (French translation: Without Fear). This revolver is consecutively serial numbered to another engraved, gold inlaid Single Action Army revolver in this auction.

Rating Definition:

Near mint as professionally custom embellished. The revolver retains 99% plus of the bright blue finish with a few minor scratches on the front underside portion of the barrel and light handling marks overall. All of the gold inlay remains and the engraving is sharp. The grips are excellent with an attractive aged patina in the grain and some overall darkening with age.There is a small ding on the toe of the buttcap. The checkering remains crisp, but is a litle soiled.
