Lot 495: Colt Third Generation Single Action Army Revolver Embellished

Manufactured in 1978 and embellished in 1983. This revolver has the following tasteful and attractively contrasting finishes and embellishments: incredibly finely detailed acanthus scrollwork and floral pattern engraving with textured backgrounds, blue finished barrel and cylinder, casehardened frame, gold plated grip frame and small parts, and gold wire inlaid bands and borders. The engraving is approximately "C" coverage. The left side of the grip frame is signed "S. KAMYK ENGR. 1983." The standard markings remain amongst the engraving. A blonde hardwood display case with green French fitted interior and key is included.

Near new with only faint handling marks. A brass block is inserted under the hammer to prevent the action from being used, but we have no reason to believe the gun is anything but mechanically excellent without it. The case is good with mild storage wear, some adhesive/sticker residue, and the hinge spring coming partly detached.
