Colt Single Action Army revolver, .45 cal., 4-3/4" barrel, fully deluxe grade period scroll engraved with raised carved pearl grips, gray patina finish, serial #119114. Interestingly, this pistol shows a verydeluxe pattern similar to pistol #253161, which was presented to Robert D. Meldrum. The engraving is attributed to Helfricht, although there is no factory record on this serial number, possibly indicating a displaygun or presentation by Colt. There is traces of old gold gilt beneath the grips and traces of plating where protected. The metal surfaces show a lightly cleaned gray patina finish, with scattered light to moderatepitting, the quality of the engraving is excellent and beautifully accomplished. The grips are extra finely carved and show a large chip from bottom left, a few other chips and losses, and are about good to verygood. The markings are good, the action good, the bore fair. A very deluxe and interesting Colt Single Action and one of only two this cataloger has seen engraved in this highly unusual pattern. Est.:
