This is a nice example of a custom engraved Colt Single Action Army revolver that was manufactured in 1902 and subsequently custom engraved and embellished by the famous Master Engraver Cole Agee. The revolver is nearly completely covered with Texas cattle brand engraving and the brands are well executed in the typical western style with the recognizable "7UP", "XIT", "HIT" and many other famous Texas brands with intermixed floral scroll and a punch dot background. The only surfaces not covered are the front strap, the inside area of the trigger guard, the cylinder flutes and the hammer (the latter Agee never engraved when doing the cattle brand engraving). The top of the ejector housing has a floral scroll pattern. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address, the left side is marked "BISLEY MODEL" in a panel and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates, (faded), followed by a very faint circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number appears on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and the back strap. Standard blade front and frame notch rear sights, all nickel finish and fitted with smooth pearl grips. The revolver is accompanied by a letter dated February 26, 1993 from an individual who met Cole Agee in 1950 and had him engrave a revolver for him and examined the engraving on this gun and feels that it was Engraved by Agee stating, "The style and tools used are correct for his work." It is estimated that Cole Agee only did 15 to 20 of these Texas cattle brand guns.

Very fine as professionally custom embellished with 98% nickel finish remaining. There is some minor pitting on the trigger guard plate. The grips are excellent. Unless noted above, the markings are readable. The engraving is crisp and the action is fine.
