Description
This Colt Single Action Army isn’t just a revolver—it’s a legacy wrapped in steel, pearl, and gold. What sets it apart? The hand of Alvin White. If you know engraving, you know his name. A true artist with metal, White’s work turned ordinary firearms into showpieces, and this one is no exception.
His signature floral scrollwork dances across the frame, barrel, and cylinder—deep, deliberate, and impossibly clean. Each curl and leaf is backed by a punch dot texture that makes the engraving pop, like shadows giving shape to light. And then there’s the gold. Not just accents—serious inlay work. It snakes along the barrel, wraps the frame, and highlights the cylinder like it’s framing a painting. Subtle? Not quite. Striking? Absolutely.
But what really catches the eye is the bison. Relief-engraved on the recoil shield, the bison’s head stares back at you with stoic defiance—raw, rugged, iconic. Just below it, the initials “RMS” glint in gold, like a whispered signature from a past era. It’s personal without being pretentious.
And speaking of signatures, Alvin White left his mark too—engraved cleanly into the front strap. Not tucked away. Right there. Proud.
Despite all the flair, this Colt isn’t just for show. It’s built to shoot, with a King patent reflective front sight and a simple rear groove for quick target acquisition. Classic, but effective. The pearl grips add a splash of elegance—cool to the touch and smooth in hand. Sure, they don’t fit perfectly. But honestly? That just makes it feel more real.
This is the kind of revolver that doesn’t just sit pretty in a case. It tells a story of craftsmanship, of history, of the American West. And for collectors who appreciate the soul behind the steel, this piece isn’t just desirable. It’s unforgettable.
