Colt Custom Shop Single Action Army

I have always had an issue with liking nice unusual new or antique firearms. Particularly six shooters. In locating things like this I have met many interesting people. One of which currently is in management at the Colt Custom shop. The gentleman called me a couple of weeks ago and offered to sell a gun out of his personal collection. It turned out to be this nickel 357 magnum Single Action Army. He purchased it in 2025. It was C level hand engraved using a vintage pattern by John Adams Jr who is currently the Expert engraver for Colt. It has very nice Turkish Walnut grips and the screws are fire blued and regulated. The barrel length is 5.5" 

I had already committed to another very nice gun before I got the call on this one but I could not pass up something this nice. So I said we would take it. I am pretty sure this one will go in Gunsmith Jeff's collection instead of being sold.

We are a Colt Custom Shop dealer and we can place orders for guns of this quality. This gun in this configuration without the provenance this gun has would retail in the 10K range.
