Description
Some Colts impress you the moment you see them. Others stop you cold. This Colt Buntline, chambered in .45 Long Colt, belongs firmly in that second category, a rare, Factory Class C engraved masterpiece finished in brilliant nickel and graced with fleur-de-lis checkered walnut grips that feel as timeless as they look.
Among collectors, this model holds a special reputation. It’s regarded as one of the rarest Colt Buntlines ever produced, with its scarcity alone making it a centerpiece-worthy acquisition. But rarity is only half the story. The other half lies in the execution, the balance of line, texture, and light that Colt’s engravers achieved here. Every curve of the scrollwork, every glint off the nickel surface, feels deliberate and alive.
The checkered walnut grips tie the whole composition together, functional yet elegant, carved for control but made to catch the eye. They’re a quiet reminder that Colt never built firearms simply to function; they built them to endure, both mechanically and artistically.
This particular revolver also includes a certificate of authenticity, documenting its provenance and confirming its place among the elite few. For collectors, such paperwork isn’t just paperwork, it’s the bridge between craftsmanship and history, ensuring the story behind the gun remains intact for generations to come.
The Colt Buntline has always stood at the crossroads of legend and artistry. In this form, it transcends both. It’s not just a revolver, it’s a statement, a relic from the golden era of American gun-making, and a perfect example of why Colt remains the benchmark for beauty in steel.
