Description:

Manufactured in 1901 and subsequently embellished. The revolver features oak leaf and acorn engraved motifs on a punch dot background accented with gold inlaid borders and scrollwork. The breech end of the barrel has a section of raised gold oak leaves and acorns that partially extend over caliber marking. Both sides of the frame have a raised gold steer head, and the recoil shield has a raised gold bear's head. The barrel also has the two-line address, and the frame has the two-line patent marking with a Rampant Colt. The period pearl grips feature a relief carved Mexican eagle on the right panel. The hammer, screw heads and trigger are plated in gold, and the remaining surfaces are blue.

Rating Definition:

Fine as custom embellished. The revolver retains 99% of the blue finish and gold plating showing the slightest handling marks. The grips are fine with a couple missing small chips and a couple of slivers of pearl missing from the otherwise crisp eagle. Mechanically excellent.
