Description
Here’s something special for Colt enthusiasts and serious collectors alike — a 3rd Gen Frontier Six-Shooter from 1995 that’s more than just a handgun. It’s a celebration of Colt’s legacy, wrapped in nickel and carved with character. Right away, the eye is drawn to the deep “C” grade floral scroll engraving. It dances across the black powder frame, brought to life by a classic punch-dot background. There’s an almost romantic quality to it — part sculpture, part sidearm.
Up top, you’ll find a simple blade front sight and a frame-notch rear — nothing too fancy, but just right for lining up a shot the old-fashioned way. And on the left side of the barrel? A panel etched with the model and barrel address, neatly tucked into a ribbon motif. It’s a small touch, but one that adds real personality to the piece.
Let’s talk condition — because this one’s a standout. The revolver retains better than 99% of its original nickel finish, with only the faintest signs it’s ever been handled. The engravings are crisp, the checkering on the grips still sharp to the touch, and the action feels as clean as the day it left the factory.
It comes with the original Colt blue box and shipping carton — both in excellent shape. The end label on the carton spells out all the details: frame type, caliber, barrel length, finish, grip material, and that gorgeous engraving. Everything’s there, just like it should be.
Whether you’re after a showpiece, a pristine example of Colt’s 3rd Gen craftsmanship, or a revolver that simply tells a story with every curve and cut, this Frontier Six-Shooter is the real deal. And honestly? They just don’t make ’em like this anymore.
