Custom Engraved Colt Bisley Single Action Revolver
Manufactured in 1902 and subsequently custom engraved with floral scroll patterns on the barrel, frame, cylinder flats and backstrap. The ejector housing has a scallop, wavy line and circle patterns. The engraving has a matte background. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address, the left side "(BISLEY MODEL) 38 W.C.F." and the left side of the frame is marked with the two line, three patent dates followed by the circled Rampant Colt. All blue finish (dull in the cylinder flutes, on the trigger guard and on the lower left side frame), with bright hammer, trigger, screws, cylinder pin and release button. Fitted with ill-fitting simulated pearl grips.

Professionally custom engraved with nearly all of the finish remaining. As mentioned above some of the finish is dull and there is pin prick type pitting under the finish on the front strap. There is some minor spotting on the bottom of the ejector housing. The modern plastic grips are near mint with light handling marks. The barrel address is mostly visible, otherwise the markings are readable and the engraving crisp. The action is excellent.
