Documented Matching Cole Agee Master Engraved Pair of Colt Official Police Double Action Revolvers

A) Colt Official Police Double Action Revolver

These two Colt Official Police revolvers were manufactured in 1911 and 1944, respectively, and were subsequently embellished by Master Engraver Cole Agee. The accompanying Agee family documents state that these revolvers were bought by avid gun collector Chief Lynn "Tim" Kennedy and sent to Cole Agee for engraving. As indicated in the several included letters written by Agee, Chief Kennedy developed a friendship with Agee that began as early as 1948. Although the serial numbers are not mentioned, the engraving on these revolvers are clearly the work of Cole Agee and one handwritten letter from Agee references "a pretty pair" of revolvers he engraved for Kennedy. The revolvers feature near full coverage engraved floral scrollwork on a punch dot background.

ConditionExtremely fine as custom embellished by Master Engraver Cole Agee. The revolver retains 95% of the custom blue finish showing thinning on the grip straps, a cylinder drag line and slight loss at the sides of the muzzle. The grips are very fine showing a few minor handling marks and attractive grain and color. Mechanically excellent.
