Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a crown jewel of modern wheel-gun artistry: a factory master-engraved 1988 Colt Single Action Army revolver. Chambered in the legendary .45 Long Colt, this rare 4.75-inch custom treasure was born out of the esteemed Colt Custom Shop under special shop order CS# 3089. This breathtaking revolver features a spectacular 50% coverage "Old Style" hand engraving executed by one of Colt's legendary Factory Master Engravers, draped in a flawless, mirror-like factory nickel finish. This specimen is an incredibly rare Model P2841, uniquely built to replicate the early 1st Generation "Black Powder" style, boasting a black powder frame screw, an early doughnut ejector rod head, a bullseye base pin, early-style script barrel markings, and the historic 3-line patent frame stampings.
Elevating this masterpiece into a tier of its own is a set of genuine elephant ivory grips featuring a spectacular factory hand-scrimshawed carving on the right panel. The carving details an exquisite, highly dimensional depiction of a steer head with deep blue, inset gemstone eyes, perfectly blending frontier heritage with elite museum-grade luxury. For the serious investor, this represents the absolute zenith of Colt Custom Shop craftsmanship and generational collector scarcity, showing off a breathtaking combination of precious material and artisanal handiwork that cannot be replicated in modern standard production runs.
This investment-grade heirloom package comes 100% complete with its original Colt wood-grain box with matching custom end label, factory hangtags, manual, and protective tissue paperwork. Remaining in absolute museum-grade, 100% New Old Stock condition as a flawless, consumer-unfired time-capsule piece, it shows no mechanical wear or handling marks whatsoever. It stands as a legendary, high-end centerpiece fit to anchor the world's finest firearms archives and is an essential acquisition for the uncompromising Colt connoisseur.
