Offered for sale here is is an Extremely Fine conditioned Factory Engraved Colt Single Action Army, SN 349801, Cal. 45, with 5-1/2″ bbl & Wolf & Klar carved MOP grips. According to the accompanying Colt Archive letter, this SAA shipped January 12, 1927, Order No. 12291/1, in a 1 gun shipment to Wolf & Klar, Ft. Worth, TX, factory engraved, nickel, 5-1/2″ in 45 Cal. Letter also states shipped with rubber grips. There is no doubt the deluxe mother-of-pearls are Wolf & Klar products as seen on other Single Actions they sold. This SAA has the originl thick front sight and 1-line block letter address. The frame has rampant Colt without circle & 2-line patent dates. The SN is marked properly on right side of front & back straps under grip.
This SAA is fitted with beautiful pearl grips with relief carved steer head with ruby eyes on right side. Frame, cyl, bbl and backstrap have factory engraving by Colt master Wilbur A. Glahn, consisting of about 50% coverage of foliate arabesque patterns with punch dot background. THe cylinder has patterns between flutes and a wavy border near back edge. Thhr top of the backstrap has Glahn’s characteristic ‘V’ shaped design with an arabesque pattern in center of backstrap. It has arabesque design on bottom of the heel with light patterns around trigger guard and front trigger guard screw. Nearly identical examples of Glahns level “B” engraving such as this can be seen on pgs 571-574 of The Colt Engraving Book – Volume Two, R. L. Wilson. This is a magnificent gun with a stunning pair of carved mother-of-pearl grips. This factory engraved SAA retains virtually all of its orig nickel, with reductions around edges of backstrap with pitting on those edges. Light holster wear on left side of muzzle. Grips fit well. Mechanically gun functions well with crisp, clean bore.
