Nimske was known as the finest Civil War era engraver. You can see why from this piece which includes a unique "War Time" eagle (wings folded down, meaning war) which was obviously a special order from Colt by a high ranking officer. Original Nickel covering 95%+ of the weapon with backstrap and trigger guard in Silver with about 85% remaining; what is missing is because of wear showing the gun was handled and used.
