Manufactured in 1894. This is a beautiful example of a cattle brand and scroll custom engraved First Generation Colt Single Action Army revolver done by Master Engraver David Wade Harris. Harris was taught the art of cattle brand engraving by Weldon Bledsoe, who in turn learned the art from Cole Agee. Except for the trigger guard, front strap, cylinder flutes and hammer, the revolver is covered with cattle brands and floral scroll engraving with a punch dot background. The most recognizable cattle brand is the 2 lazy 2 P brand on the left front of the barrel and the famous Running W of the King ranch on the right side front of the barrel. Other brands include "HIT, "101" and XIT". The butt has the signature of Harris "D W HARRIS". There is a star burst on the trigger guard. The standard barrel and frame markings remain and the matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The revolver is fitted with two piece stag grips. Comes with a floral tooled leather belt with 24 cartridge loops and loop holster with tie down strap. Both are marked with the maker's mark"ROSEBUD SADDLERY/LESTER YODER/ASHLAND, MONTANA".

Very fine as custom embellished with 90% of the dull nickel finish remaining. The undersized grips are fine with a pleasant color. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. The action is excellent. The belt and holster are excellent.
