Description:

Manufactured in 1902 and subsequently masterfully embellished by David Wade Harris, who signed his work "DWHARRIS" on the butt. Harris learned his craft from the famous Texas gun engraver Weldon Bledsoe, who was taught by legendary Texan, Cole Agee, who is often cited as the creator of the cattle brand style of engraving. This revolver shows nearly full coverage cattle brand floral scroll engraving and is fitted with a finely figured grip with a silver Texas longhorn head medallion on each side.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as masterfully embellished by David Wade Harris, retains 98% nickel finish with some scattered light spotting and pitting, mostly under the finish, visible original markings, and crisp engraving. The grip is also very fine with only the slightest handling marks and an attractive lightly aged patina on the silver. Mechanically excellent.
