ATLAS
COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a museum-grade masterpiece of fine firearms engraving: a magnificent first generation 1904 Colt Single Action Army. Chambered in the iconic and powerful .45 Long Colt with a commanding 7.5-inch cavalry-length barrel, this breathtaking custom creation represents a stunning convergence of 20th-century frontier heritage and elite, old-world artisan mastery, establishing it as a blue-chip heirloom investment piece of the highest order.
This extraordinary revolver has been fully master engraved by legendary former Colt factory engraver Walter T. Shannon of Waldron, Arkansas, and stands proudly authenticated with his signature "S" struck on the bottom of the trigger guard. Executed completely by hand utilizing traditional hammer-and-chisel techniques, the firearm features nearly 100% full-coverage, classic 19th-century style floral scrollwork, brilliantly defined against deeply textured punch-dot backgrounds. Accenting this numbers-matching treasure is an irreplaceable set of early, hand-carved genuine mother-of-pearl grips. The right panel displays a phenomenal master-carved steerhead completed with a real gold-inlaid nose ring, gold-plated horns, and dazzling, hand-set ruby gemstones for the eyes—the exact elite styling cue championed by legends Cole Agee and Weldon Bledsoe.
Nestled safely inside a custom deluxe wooden display case with a rich, vibrant red velvet lining, this phenomenal exhibition piece is perfectly optimized for gallery display. The revolver remains in pristine overall condition, retaining virtually all of its custom high-mirror nickel finish applied at the time of engraving. Mechanically flawless, the action clocks flawlessly with all four crisp clicks and an excellent lockup, while the historic bore remains bold with only faint frosting. This is a breathtaking, singular work of three-dimensional art destined for the crown position of a world-class collection.
