An absolutely beautiful Helfrict/Nimschske style professionally engraved early model 45 Colt Peacemaker. This is an 1873 Colt single action army shipped November 16th 1876 to Spies Kissam and Company New York(COLT Factory Letter Included). This gun has been restored and professionally engraved, most likely by a Master Engraver with the Firearms Engraver Guild of America (FEGA). The engraving is a beautiful floral scroll engraving with beautiful stippling shading that requires many hours of work by a Master Engraver. It also has a wonderful deep blue and polished finish with a polished and blued early 1st generation original hammer. These early Colts were almost always blued with 7 ½ “barrels and one piece wood grips, only special order deluxe guns were engraved with special finishes. This Colt Peacemaker has professionally fitted and polished bone grips that accent the engraving excellently, This gun has been updated with a 2nd Generation 45 Colt 5 ½” barrel and 2nd generation 45 Colt cylinder, which updates this gun to modern gun standards and ,although not recommended ,could be fired with modern Cowboy Action loads with reduced barrel pressures and are meant for early or restored 19th century firearms (have the arm inspected by a professional gunsmith before attempting to fire this are at the range ,not recommended.) and overall masterpiece of gunsmithing and the Gun Engravers Art. A one of a kind, specially made Colt Peacemaker that would be the crown jewel of any Colt Collection. FFL OR C&R REQUIRED NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ALL MUNICIPALITIES CHECK YOUR LOCAL ORDINANCES.
