Colt Third Generation Single Action Army Revolver Engraved by John Adams Sr. .44-40 WCF Nickel & Ivory 7.5"

This Colt Third Generation Single Action Army is an exceptionally refined custom example enhanced by renowned Colt Master Engraver John Adams Sr. Chambered in .44-40 W.C.F. and featuring the classic 7 1/2-inch barrel configuration, this revolver combines traditional frontier styling with high-grade Colt factory embellishment and master-level engraving artistry. The revolver remains in outstanding as-new-in-box condition and includes extensive provenance documenting the custom work.

The revolver features Class “C” Nimschke-style engraving with flowing scrollwork and punch-dot shading executed across the frame, barrel, cylinder, and backstrap. The bright nickel finish contrasts beautifully with the vivid fire-blued screws, trigger, base pin latch, and base pin, creating the highly polished presentation collectors seek in premium engraved Colts. John Adams Sr. signed the revolver in two locations, further enhancing its desirability among Colt and engraving collectors.

Equally striking are the factory ivory grips fitted with silver Rampant Colt medallions. The grips are correctly numbered to the revolver and remain in superb condition. Included with the firearm is the original Colt factory box with matching end label, Styrofoam insert, manuals, paperwork, and a signed 1995 letter from John Adams Sr. detailing the engraving work performed. This is a highly attractive display-quality Colt Single Action Army that blends Western heritage, Colt craftsmanship, and documented master engraving into one elegant collector package.
