The finest SAA I ever owned. Engraved by Robert Burt. I bought this gun from Phillip in Wagram. I no longer own it. It is in one of the most prestigious collections in America. Though it brought me many thousands of dollars it was meant to be somewhere else. Under heavy magnification it was amazing. The horse's tail blowing in the wind and the sage brush and mountains in the back were wonderful. The Chief with the war bonnet on looked as if he might speak. I have many others still, but This was my finest moment in Colt ownership.
You should hold that one in your hands and look at all the work that went into it. Billy will be along to tell about t.Beautiful engraving. But where did that "stumpy" (short barrel) one come from? Never seen one like that.
You Sir just named that old girl. Henceforth it will be known as "stumpy". It started life as a Ruger . I read Hamilton Bowen's book Custom Revolvers [important, if you don't own this book Get It], there are several "light weights" shown that look like he gun you asked about. I contacted Bowen and he told me to send him a gun and $2,500 and in a year or so I could have one. I told him I appreciated him talking to me and good-bye. I then went through my stash and found this Vaquero that Mike had given me for some occasion. I contacted The Don..Carroway. With the book and the gun my old friend pulled out from Battery Oaks to start this journey. About a month later it was finished as far as the whittling was concerned. Mike then sent it to JD Jones for a front sight and re finishing. It came back as you see it. It truly looks like Black Chrome. It has a 1 1/2 pound trigger and is deadly accurate. Once, with witnesses, I shot at a 4 foot tall 8 inch wide gas cylinder at 300 yards hitting it 4 times outta 12.Beautiful engraving. But where did that "stumpy" (short barrel) one come from?

I like the looks of that ejectorless Single Action. What is it? Silver dollars and sipping whiskey ain't bad either.
Beautiful engraving. But where did that "stumpy" (short barrel) one come from? Never seen one like that.
A couple I just got back from Nutmeg sports for new Rams Horn stocks. 1873 gold 2 1/2 dollar coins on the right side and 1990 and 2019 1/10 bullion on the right for the year of the guns. Just got them back today and need to take them out in the sun for some decent pics.
Those grips on @wired guns are beautiful. Never seen better colors. AND they're tough as …..wellll a Ram's Horn...
You did yourself and the world a favor saving that old Colt. It appears you have had the same results we have had with Ford's and Nutmeg.More of the Family... USAA's top and bottom with Ivory from Nutmeg and the middle Colt I dont know who did the ivory.
