Atlas Collectible Firearms is proud to present this Masterfully Hand Engraved 1986 Colt Officers ACP semi-automatic pistol chambered in the legendary .45 ACP. This "Series 80" model features a 3.5-inch barrel and has a beautiful, durable stainless steel finish. This is a very early production variant, manufactured in only the second year of the Officers ACP production cycle. The pistol has been transformed into a true work of art with full-coverage floral scroll engraving, which is signed "CB" on the front of the frame. While no formal paperwork is present, this signature is highly indicative of the renowned Master Engraver Carl Bleile.
The firearm is further elevated by an extraordinary set of very rare and valuable Hand Checkered Real Elephant Ivory Grips. The package is truly exceptional, featuring a custom ivory toolkit consisting of a matching ivory-handled brush and screwdriver. This entire presentation-grade masterpiece is housed in a Custom Deluxe Walnut Display Case with a vibrant red velvet-lined interior. The level of craftsmanship displayed across the metal, ivory, and wood components makes this one of the most unique Colt 1911 packages we have ever offered.
The overall condition of this historic Colt is PRISTINE collector grade, showing only the slightest evidence of handling or use. The stainless finish serves as a perfect canvas for the deep, elegant hand engraving. The mechanics are tight and smooth, and the bore is flawless. This is a museum-quality, investment-grade showpiece that would serve as a crown jewel in any high-end firearms collection.
