Description:
This very special engraved Officers Model is nickel and gold finished (cylinder only), is fitted with a 6 inch barrel with an adjustable front sight for elevation only, and 2-line address, with last patent date of "1905". The flat top frame with an adjustable rear sight for windage only, is inscribed "Dr. W.C. Lyon/U.S. Navy". Revolver is beautifully engraved in New York style, probably from the Cuno Helfricht shop, with full coverage foliate arabesque and floral patterns in the gullets. Foliate arabesque and geometric patterns extend over the barrel, on the butt strap and trigger guard. Top of the hump behind the hammer is engraved in a partial flower blossom with feather patterns around the hammer slot. The cylinder is also engraved in Mr. Helficht's alternating patterns of foliate arabesque and geometric designs with line border around the flutes and a scalloped border around the rear edge. Back strap and trigger are checkered. The trigger, edges of hammer and sights are fire blued. The right rear of the trigger guard is stamped with a 6-point star which indicates factory restored finish, which is probably when the revolver was engraved and refinished. The Colt factory letter (owner could not find at this time) identifies this revolver in caliber .38 Colt with a 6 inch barrel, blue finish, type of stocks not listed and shipped to E.K. Tryon, Jr. & Co., Phila., PA., on Nov 28, 1905 in a 2 gun shipment. The gun is in extremely fine condition and is all matching. Overall it retains virtually all of its factory style refinsh, with some thinning on the cylinder. The beautiful (lots of fire and color) pearl grips fit perfectly and except for a sliver missing from the heel on the right grip are in very fine condition. The bore is bright and the action is crisp and functions perfectly. A very attractive and desirable Colt revolver.
