Description:
FACTORY ENGRAVED ARMY SPECIAL REVOLVER, 6" BARREL, BLUE, .38 SPECIAL, MADE 1910, fairly simple engraving on the barrel sides, cylinder front, frame, bottom or the trigger guard, back strap and butt, according to THE BOOK OF COLT ENGRAVING by R. L. Wilson: Norwell Shapleigh Hardware, St Louis, MO, "acquired over 375 engraved Army Specials, c. 1912, one of the largest engraving orders in the history of the Colt firearms company." All of these seem to be engraved alike and there are a couple of photos of guns like this one in the book, I've seen a small number of them over the years and this is pretty typical, like most of these I've seen they were working guns and not display pieces so they do have wear, this one has good blue evenly aged and thinning/mixing gray/brown with no pitting or abuse, hard rubber grips show similar wear but fit nicely and are solid, exc. bore with tight action, has some initials lightly scratched in the butt, unaltered front sight, exc. markings and sharp engraving, here's a chance to have a factory engraved Colt revolver that's over 100 years old without paying a fortune! I'll guarantee it to letter.
