Description:

Manufactured in 1969 and subsequently masterfully embellished by Weldon Bledsoe, a former student of the legendary Cole Agee, who innovated the "cattle brand" style of engraving. This revolver shows the typical Texas style of those two well-known engravers with the almost 100% coverage cattle brand logos, floral scroll, and punch dot background engraving. The engraving is signed with Bledsoe's mark very discreetly on the right side of the frame and also bears the "2 Lazy 2 P" brand that is very typical of his work. The grips are fully checkered with smooth ebony diamond inserts creating wonderful contrast and accents the nickel finish of the revolver nicely.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as masterfully embellished by Weldon Bledsoe, retains 97% nickel finish with some areas of frost and few light handling marks. The grips are fine with a stabilize crack on the left side, crisp checkering overall and mild handling evidence. Mechanically excellent.
