The left side of the barrel has a large relief gold inlay reading "THE/FIRST/BANKERS" surrounded by an oval of floral scroll and matting. The bottom of the barrel is marked "SgMH." The frame and grip straps are engraved to match with 50% coverage floral scroll engraving with a starburst on the right side of the frame and a sunburst on the recoil shield. The top of the backstrap features a gold overlaid First Bankers logo with "First Bankers Corporation of Florida" inscription on the backstrap and three gold inlaid, five-pointed stars on the butt. The revolver is signed "SHOSTLE" under the recoil shield. Fitted to the revolver is a pair of walnut grips with gold Colt medallions. Includes original box. This revolver is collector serialized to the next lot as well as consecutively numbered to (LOT 3187), another Ben Shostle engraved Bankers Corporation of Florida SAA, no. FBF-021, in this auction.

Exceptionally fine overall as master engraved and gold inlaid by Master Engraver Ben Shostle, retaining 98% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks, a few small spots of oxidation on the back strap, and crisp engraving. Mechanically excellent. Box is very good with storage and handling marks and a torn portion of the top.
