Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a breathtaking, museum-tier piece of early 20th-century firearms art and Western heritage: an exceptional 1920 production Colt Single Action Army (Peacemaker) revolver chambered in the iconic .45 Colt cartridge. Built during the golden age of traditional Hartford craftsmanship, this legendary single-action revolver features a classic 7.5-inch barrel, traditional blade front sight, notch rear sight, 6-shot cylinder, and a vivid color case-hardened frame paired with deep factory-style bluing on the barrel and cylinder. Embellished with extraordinary, full-coverage hand engraving by FEGA Certified Master Engraver Mark Swanson—and proudly signed "M. Swanson - ENGR/18" on the bottom of the frame, visible only with the grip removed—this heirloom-grade Peacemaker stands as an absolute masterwork of modern gunsmithing built upon an authentic 100-year-old Colt foundation.
This magnificent collector's package is custom appointed and presented in an elite fitted presentation display case designed to showcase and safeguard its phenomenal artisan detail. The intricate scrollwork features sharp, deep-cut relief lines and classic Western motifs that cover the frame, cylinder band, and full length of the barrel housing. Complementing the vibrant color case-hardened frame and lustrous dark blued steel is a bespoke set of premium presentation grip panels, offering an exquisite tactile balance and highlighting the museum-grade aesthetic that makes signed, master-engraved Colt single-action revolvers the absolute crown jewels of fine arms collecting.
The overall cosmetic condition of this fine 1920 Master Engraved Single Action Army is in immaculate, investment-grade form, exhibiting brilliant case-colored contrast and high-luster bluing with no high-edge wear, drag lines, or handling marks. Mechanically, the hand-tuned action functions with vault-tight, flawless precision, featuring the crisp four-click cocking sequence, rock-solid cylinder indexing, and a feather-light single-action trigger break, while the 7.5-inch barrel houses a mirror-bright, pristine bore with razor-sharp rifling lines throughout.
