serial #59812SA, 45 Colt, 4 3/4'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. This handsome 1971-made Second Generation revolver was engraved in 1979/80 by master engraver Bill Burt, apparently after a successful cougar hunt by the original owner, and the original invoice detailing the work is included along with a photograph of said dispatched cougar. The revolver had a new barrel installed by Colt and was factory-refinished in preparation for the engraving now rating as-new with 99% blue and vibrant case-hardened colors, the polished sides of the hammer remaining brilliant. The metal surfaces are engraved in near full coverage with lovely crisp and clean detailed flowing foliate scrollwork and fine punch-dot background shading. A small but finely detailed cougar scene graces the right side of the frame, commemorating the history of the gun in style. The right side of the frontstrap beneath the grip is neatly signed ''COLT ENGRAVER R. BURT'' and the original factory markings also remain intact throughout. The revolver wears a nice smooth one-piece ivory grip in excellent condition showing a few minor handling marks and a mellow patina with subtle grain striations and some slight cracking along the base. The action seems to function well mechanically with a crisp hammer. The included 1980-dated invoice notes the revolver by serial number and details the following work: Barrel 4 3/4'', Type ''D'' engraving by Class I engraver, Engrave Cougar in suitable location (not inlaid), Double Presentation case. The case is not present. This is a lovely revolver with tasteful and excellent quality embellishments from a well-regarded factory engraver. (13D11523-119) {C&R} [Jim Thrash Collection] (6000/8000)
