Colt SAA 150th Anniversary Engraving Sampler

Description

Celebrate the artistry of Colt craftsmanship with this exceptional Colt Single Action Army revolver, a centerpiece of the 150th Anniversary Engraving Sampler collection. This limited-edition masterpiece, processed under Colt Custom Shop Order Number 3322, is one of only 53 revolvers ever produced in this exclusive configuration, making it a rare treasure for collectors and enthusiasts.

This revolver showcases a unique Type “B” scroll engraving that pays homage to renowned Colt engravers throughout history. Each engraving style is thoughtfully placed: Henshaw scrolls adorn the bottom of the backstrap and trigger guard bow, Nimschke scrolls embellish the cylinder, Helfricht scrolls grace the frame, and a Contemporary motif decorates the barrel and ejector rod housing. Adding to its allure, the 150% Rampant Colt logo is line-cut engraved atop the backstrap. At the same time, “Colt Engraving Sampler” is beautifully etched in script style down the backstrap.

The scrimshawed stocks further highlight the revolver’s historical significance, inscribed with the names and active years of legendary engravers: R. Menshan (1831), L. Nimschke (1850-1900), C. Helfricht (1871-1921), and Contemporary artistry.

A true testament to Colt’s legacy, this revolver combines historical reverence with masterful engraving. This Colt Single Action Army is an extraordinary example of fine firearm artistry and exclusivity, whether as a centerpiece in a collection or a prized display.
