Description:

This is a nice example of a Colt Single Action Army revolver originally manufactured in 1900 and custom engraved by noted cattle brand engraver David Harris. Harris was taught the art of cattle brand engraving by Weldon Bledsoe, who had in turn learned the art from Cole Agee, the originator of the cattle brand engraving. The revolver is nearly completely covered with cattle brand engraving. The brands are well executed in the typical western style with the recognizable "2 Lazy 2 P", "XIT", "101", "HIT" and many other famous Texas brands with intermixed floral scroll designs and a punch dot background. The butt is signed "DW HARRIS". The only surfaces not covered are the front grip strap, the inside area of the trigger guard and the cylinder flutes. The top of the barrel is marked with the two-line Colt address, the left side "45 COLT". The left side of the frame is marked with the two-line, three patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, trigger guard and back strap. Standard blade and frame notch sights, all nickel finish and fitted with two-piece stag grips.

Rating Definition:

Fine as master embellished with almost all of the custom satin nickel finish remaining. The grips are excellent. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
