Description

1. Colt New Frontier Sheriff’s Model Revolver

This exceptional Colt New Frontier Sheriff’s Model Revolver is a masterpiece of American firearms craftsmanship. It showcases a royal blue finish and custom features that elevate it to collector-grade status. Chambered in .38 Special, this three 3/8-inch barrel revolver is adorned with fire blue screws, trigger, and cylinder pins, all enhancing its striking aesthetic. Adding to its allure, the revolver bears a custom serial number, “JUSTICE No1,” confirmed by a Colt factory letter.

The artistry of Howard Dove, a celebrated Colt Master Engraver, shines in every detail of this revolver. Dove’s masterful work is evident in the flush gold inlay and meticulous ‘B’ type American scroll engraving that embellishes the frame. The revolver’s frame features raised gold scrollwork with flush inlaid borders. At the same time, a gold-inlaid judge’s gavel graces the loading gate, and a Lady Justice motif is etched on the recoil shield. Additionally, intricate scrolls and 13 stars symbolize the revolver’s connection to historical American justice.

Delivered to Universal Firearms Ltd. on September 26, 1987, this piece is accompanied by an elegant double ebony presentation case and comprehensive documentation. It includes original correspondence and quotes, underscoring its significance within the Colt Collectors Association. In near-mint condition, with over 99% of the original blue finish intact, this revolver holds aesthetic appeal and functions flawlessly. Its remarkable details and condition make it a desirable addition to any distinguished firearms collection.

2. Colt Single Action Sheriff’s Model Revolver

This Colt Single Action Sheriff’s Model Revolver in .357 Magnum is a remarkable collector’s piece that showcases the pinnacle of artistry and craftsmanship. Bearing the “FREEDOM No1” serial number, this revolver is unique and historically inspired. Its three 3/8-inch barrel and frame gleam in a royal blue finish, while fire blue screws, trigger, and cylinder pin add striking detail to the overall aesthetic.

A testament to the skill of Master Engraver Howard Dove, the revolver is adorned with type ‘B’ American scroll engraving and flush gold leaf inlays that highlight its iconic design. The loading gate features a gold inlay of a liberty bell, symbolizing American independence, while the recoil shield displays an intricate Eagle and Shield motif, framed by 13 stars and inscribed with “LIBERTY OR DEATH”—an homage to American patriotism.

Further enhancing its visual appeal, the backstrap and trigger guard bow showcase delicate scroll engraving and flush gold inlays. The revolver remains in excellent plus condition, retaining over 99% of its original finish with minimal handling marks, and its mechanical function is as impeccable as its design.
