Description
This Colt Single Action Army firearm from 1889 is a unique piece, distinguished by the custom engravings of the renowned David Harris. Harris’s designs, inspired by the Texas cattle brand motif, a style initiated by Cole Agee and furthered by Weldon Bledsoe, capture the essence of Texas ranching heritage from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The intricate engravings, including the distinctive “2 Lazy 2 P” brand, cover almost the entire surface, set against a dotted background, characteristic of the Western style.
This Colt Single Action Army, with its original Colt inscriptions and matching serial numbers across its parts, is a testament to its authenticity. It comes with a letter of authenticity from David Harris, verifying the comprehensive Agee-inspired cattle brand engraving that adorns it.
The condition of this revolver, a testament to its historical significance, is a result of meticulous maintenance. It has preserved over 99% of its brushed nickel finish, with minor indications of wear and a subtle patina from use, serving as a tangible link to the past.
The replacement grips, though slightly larger than the original, are in excellent condition, enhancing the revolver’s overall appearance. Its functionality is described as mechanically excellent, ensuring its status as a collector’s item and a piece of working history, ready to be admired and used.
