Colt Single Action Army in .45 caliber with a 4 ¾” barrel, S/N 116470 shipped soft to Hartley & Graham, New York, New York, and November 28, 1885 with 12 guns in shipment. In my opinion this revolver was deluxe Lot Title engraved by L.D. Nimschke. This particular Colt was the favorite of Joe Kiser, who was the founding member and first president of Colt Collector’s Association and was known for his extensive collection over 500 single Lot Title actions including S/N 14 which were sold by Little John’s over a period of more than a decade. He felt the engraving on the trigger guard and back strap being continued into overall pattern and the deep wide scrolls are Lot Title superb. The cylinder shows traces of original darkened gold gilt and over 80% original nickel remains. The gun is sharp, crisp and shows super high relief carved pearl grips with American eagle of the best Lot Title quality and completely genuine to the period of manufacture. Joe kept this fine Colt to the end as he felt it had great artistic appeal. (Antique) Est.: $17,500-$35,000
