Description:

This revolver was originally destined to be a Garibaldi special edition, but approximately 94 guns left the factory by mistake partially in the white. Cherry's Sporting Goods sent this example to Master Engraver Ken Hurst for embellishment. There is nearly full coverage floral scroll engraving on the cylinder, frame and barrel lug with flourishes of floral scroll engraving on top of the barrel, the sides of the loading lever and on the back strap. The sides of the hammer, the screw heads, and the thick side of the wedge have some decorative engraving. There are gold inlaid bands at the muzzle, around the outside edge of the barrel lug, around the outside edge of the frame, along the rear edge of the cylinder, and on the outside edge of the hammer. There is also silver band inlaid at the transition point on the barrel and additional silver bands at the front of the cylinder and on the recoil shield. The screws and barrel wedge are niter blue. The loading lever is signed "K. HURST". The revolver comes in a Colt case lined in royal blue velvet with a nipple wrench/screwdriver, an empty cap tin, a two cavity bullet mold, a powder flask, and the original box numbered to the gun.

Rating Definition:

Excellent as professionally embellished, all of the high polish blue finish remains with only a few light handling/storage marks along with some minor surface oxidation on the underside of the forcing cone and top of the cylinder pin. The wedge has some minor marks on the thin side. The casehardened components retain all of the bright fiery case colors. All of the bright nitre blue finish remains on the screws and wedge. The grip is excellent. The case and accessories are excellent with only some minor scattered handling marks. The box is good with edge wear, creases, and tape.
