This revolver started life as a standard Single Action Army manufactured in 1903. It was rebarreled and recylindered for the .38 Special cartridge as which point in was finely floral engraved to the point where the only unengraved area on entire body of gun is behind the rear trigger guard, cylinder flutes and sighting groove. Gun was then completely blued, lettering was done in gold. There is a gold accent line at muzzle. The ejector rod head, cylinder pin, release pin and trigger are finish in gold. 3D overlay bobcat on recoil shield and a bobcat head on upper right frame. Ivory grips are beautifully checkered and have silver inlays of the Colt pony. CONDITION: Revolver retains near all of the reapplied finish and does not look to have been fired since engraving was performed. Rifling appears as if it was almost polished to smoothbore. Indexes and locks up tight. Probably made for trick shooting. From the collection of Jason Roselius.
