He was a merchant in Houston and was later one of the key figures
in Cleveland north of Houston, where he owned multiple businesses
including the Anderson Brothers store established in 1914 that
continued on past his death. A script “A” is inscribed behind the
hammer in a triangular pattern that coordinates with the gold inlaid
chevrons on the cylinder between the flutes and the designs on the
recoil shield, loading gate, and heel. The other engraving consists of the
floral scroll patterns and wavy line accents Glahn is known for. Aside
from the cylinder, the engraving is very similar to the non-gold inlaid
factory engraved Colt Single Action Army 350655 that was engraved by
Glahn, shipped to Wolf & Klar in Fort Worth in 1927, and sold by RIAC
for $103,500 in May of this year. The barrel has a blade front sight, the
one-line address on top, and “38 W.C.F.” on the left. The frame has the
two-line patent marking on the left, and the trigger guard has “3” over
the “VP” proof on the left. Matching serial numbers are on the frame,
rear face of the cylinder (“75”), and right side of the grip straps. The
assembly number “392” is on the loading gate and back of the frame. The correct replacement grips have “347975” marked inside (revolver number “34675,” flip the “9” and it would be matching). Includes a custom made case. CONDITION: Excellent with light natural aged patina forming on the original silver which remains 95% complete showing minor flaking on the muzzle and grip straps, light gold wash in the cylinder flutes, distinct gold inlay between the flutes, crisp engraving and markings, and generally only light age and storage related wear. The grips are also excellent and have crisp checkering and minimal wear. Mechanically excellent. The custom case is very good with minor wear. This is a beautiful and one-of-a-kind factory engraved, gold inlaid, initial inscribed, and silver plated Colt Single Action Army revolver in outstanding condition no doubt highly cherished by Mr. Anderson and will be a proud addition for any Colt collection.
