Desirable Cole Agee Engraved Pre-War Colt Detective Special Double Action Revolver with Steer Head Carved Pearl Grips

Manufactured in 1930. This finely engraved revolver features 70% coverage foliate scroll engraving on a punch dot background with matching engraved panels between the cylinder flutes, and a checkerboard pattern on the crane. The engraving is cut through the original nickel finish in typical Cole Agee style and the original markings are left visible. Fitted with a pair of very fine mother of pearl grips with the classic steer head carving on the right panel. Includes the book "Cole Agee: Texas Engraver" by Jink Howard and two 8"x10" photographs of the revolver.

ConditionVery fine as custom embellished. 85% nickel finish remains with sharp engraving, a few light handling marks, and some visible flaking on the front cylinder face. The grips are also very fine with just a few small chips along the edges, and some small surface scratches. Mechanically excellent.
