John Adams Jr. Engraved Colt Single Action Army 3rd Gen – Serial S04432A

Crafted in 1993 and masterfully engraved by John Adams Jr., this Colt 3rd Gen Single Action Army Revolver is a stunning showcase of traditional scrollwork, starburst accents, and steer head grips with pierced detailing. With over 99% of its original nickel finish intact and housed in its original Colt blue box, it’s a collector-grade piece of firearm artistry.

Description

Here’s something special: a 1993 Colt 3rd Gen Single Action Army Revolver that’s far more than a firearm—it’s a piece of art, carefully brought to life by Master Engraver John Adams Jr.

At first glance, it’s the engraving that stops you. Dual bands wrap the muzzle and frame, anchoring the floral scrollwork that flows gracefully along the barrel. It’s not just decorative—it feels intentional, balanced, and almost lyrical in the way the patterns frame the original Colt markings.

Keep looking, and the story deepens. The frame is nearly blanketed in scrollwork, with a starburst design up front that draws your eye and adds just the right touch of drama. Even smaller parts, like the ejector rod and cylinder pin release, aren’t overlooked—they’re carefully engraved, tying the whole look together with thoughtful precision.

And then there’s the loading gate—engraved with a blooming flower so rich in detail, it’s easy to forget this is a working firearm. That theme continues up top, where a leafy motif winds across the top strap, creating a visual rhythm that’s both elegant and cohesive.

Every piece—the hammer, cylinder, trigger guard, back strap—has been engraved to match. And just in case there was any doubt about who’s behind this masterwork, Adams Jr. signed his name right on the trigger guard. Subtle. Confident. Proud.

Let’s not forget the grips—those bold steer head carvings with pierced horn details are a standout on their own. They’re not just decorative—they tell a story of craftsmanship that values both tradition and flair.

Still nestled in its original Colt blue box, with the matching shipping carton, this revolver has kept its near-flawless nickel finish—over 99%—with just a few light handling marks to show it’s been touched, admired, and maybe even held in awe. The patina gives it character. The crispness of the engraving keeps it sharp. Together, they make this piece not just desirable, but unforgettable.

If you’re a serious collector or someone who appreciates the kind of artistry that blurs the line between tool and treasure, this Colt should be on your radar.
