Description:

Manufactured in 1919 and subsequently engraved by W. Dan Cullity. The left grip strap is signed "WDC", the initials of W. Dan Cullity, former Colt Master Engraver and noted antique firearms specialist. He now runs Cullity and Son in East Sandwich, MA. The fantastic floral scroll engraving covers nearly all of the surface. The scrollwork on the frame has a punch dot background. Floral patterns appear on the front sight and top strap. Fitted with silver Rampant Colt medallion pearl grips. The back strap lacks a serial number. Matching serial numbers are on the frame and trigger guard.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as masterfully embellished by noted Master Engraver W. Dan Cullity. The revolver retains 98% of the nickel plating with limited scattered dark spotting. The grips are very fine with minimal handling marks and highly attractive fiery colors. Mechanically excellent.
