Manufactured in 1920 and later embellished by renowned Master Engraver Weldon Bledsoe. The included letter from Weldon Bledsoe's apprentice, David Harris, letter confirms the caliber, barrel length, full scroll engraving done by Weldon Bledsoe, polished nickel with gold trim, pearl grips and signed by Bledsoe near the hammer screw on the right side. The extensive, near full coverage of a scroll and punch dot engraving is featured on the frame, barrel sides, cylinder and back strap with the engraving extended to the trigger guard. The revolver retains the original Colt factory barrel and frame markings. As stated the revolver is nickel plated with gold plated hammer, cylinder, trigger, ejector rod and ejector rod housing and fitted with smooth pearl grips. The late Bledsoe is well known for is cattle brand engraving and taught David Wade Harris, the third of three well known cattle brand engravers, the art of engraving.

Very fine as embellished by Master Engraver Weldon Bledsoe. The revolver retains 97% of the nickel finish showing some light flaking/blistering. The revolver retains 95% thinned gold finish. The grips are excellent with a small missing chip on the left panel and few mild handling marks overall. The pearl has an attractive color. Mechanically excellent.
