Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present this museum-tier masterpiece: a Masterfully Hand Engraved 1920 Manufactured Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket Hammerless chambered in .25 ACP. This firearm is not merely a collector’s piece, but a significant historical artifact within the firearms industry. It was created as a personal gift for Frank R. Brownell III, the owner of Brownells.com, from the world-renowned FEGA Certified Master Engraver John K. Barraclough.
The level of craftsmanship on this 2-inch barreled pistol is breathtaking. It features a deluxe high-polish blued finish that serves as the canvas for full-coverage, intricate floral scroll engraving. The artistry is elevated by Genuine 24K Gold hand-inlaid wire that borders the slide and frame, accenting the master-cut patterns. The pistol is further adorned with Genuine Mother of Pearl grips, a gold-plated trigger, safety, and magazine base.
This is a 100% Complete Investment Package with impeccable provenance, including:
A Personal Hand-Written and Signed Note from John Barraclough to Frank Brownell dated 01/22/2012.
The Original CD-R containing information and photos of this specific gun from the 2012 FEGA show in Reno, Nevada.
A Deluxe Fitted Highly Figured Birdseye Maple Display Case with a velvet protective storage pouch.
The overall condition of this Colt is pristine collector grade, remaining in virtually the same state as when it was presented in 2012. The engraving is sharp, the gold inlays are vibrant, and the mechanics remain factory-tight with a perfect bore. This represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a uniquely documented Master Engraved Colt with direct ties to two of the most influential names in the modern firearms world.
