Outstanding Glahn Pre-War Factory Engraved Colt Single Action Army Revolver, #343280, .45 Colt cal., 5-1/2'' barrel, nickel finish, ruby-eyed steerhead pearl grips, as shipped to Wolf & Klar, Fort Worth, TX, Dec. 22, 1921. Although factory records do not indicate the name of the engraver, it was clearly done by Wilbur Glahn, with approx. 60% coverage of his light foliate style. Right grip panel is neatly adorned with a Texas style longhorn with two small red (presumably ruby) eyes. As the type of stocks is marked as ''Not Listed'' in the factory letter, these grips were probably carved by the retailer in Texas. Condition is excellent with very mellow toning to nickel, small flakes at muzzle, as well as at index line area of cylinder. Grips show only the slightest wear and possess a startlingly iridescence. Action is crisp, bore is excellent. Revolver shows only storage and actioning wear. Est.: $25,000-$35,000. (Antique)
