EXAMPLE 1

This "example" section is really gaining in popularity.  More and more folks are seeing what their guns can become fairly quickly (a couple of months) and for not a lot of money ( well les than $3000 ).  This pair of 38-40's had seen better days and the owner wanted to give them a facelift.  After just two months, you are seeing the results.  Book matched engraving, signed by the Colt contract engraver, antique finish, first generation metal work, book matched ivory, genuine antique Colt medallions.  The owner was kind enough to give us permission to show them here for everyone to see.  Your guns can have the same transformation  Give us a call to discuss it.

EXAMPLE 2

This was a garden veriety Colt SAA.  It's owner did not want to buy another gun, so he sent us this one.  We changed it into something very special.  We like it, he likes it and we hope you like it as well.  As long as we are engraving a gun, we love converting a conventional backstrap into a birdshead.

EXAMPLE #3

This 1st generation Colt was kind of a beater. You can a look at the before pictures and see the transformation that has taken place.  And at a very reasonable price.

EXAMPLE 4

This important Colt was the brainchild of one of our very sophisticated collector clients.  We enjoy working hand in hand with our customers to help them create heirlooms of intrinsic value.  This is a fine example of such a creation.

EXAMPLE 5

Our client sent in this Colt Combat Commander.  A nice gun but not anything he'd want to wear on Sunday.  Now it fits in with his finest garb.

EXAMPLE 6

Here is another brand new Colt from Nutmeg.  This is not just another garden variety gun.  It is a collaboration between the Michelangelo of Modern Engraving, Leonard Francolini and master engraver Wayne D'Angelo.  A very elaborate creation and the crown jewel of even the finest collections.

EXAMPLE 7

Here is our latest rescue gun.  We have included before and after pictures.  Theis gun was actually a third gen. but in very rough shape.  We ended up adding a barrel, a cylinder and ejector rod head, screws, and a hammer.  Not to mention the engraving, ivory grips and antique nickel finish.  We like it...what about you?

EXAMPLE 8

Here is a Wilson Arms .45 Cal semi-auto.  The family of the client purchased the gun.  Wilson shipped it to me.  Communication took place between the client's family and me.  Art work and photography was sent.  You are looking at the results.  The family was thrilled, the recipient was thrilled and we are very proud of the results.

EXAMPLE 9

This Colt came in just recently and we are very proud of the results.  The grips are very special one piece ivory in a carved, checkered and scroll engraved pattern that is even visible at the bottom of the panels.

EXAMPLE 10

This old Colt was sent to us by the client with a picture of the engraving he wanted.  The gun itself had no finish remaining.  A few of the markings had to be sharpened up.  The grips were old and beautifully aged but poorly fitted.  We brought this Colt back and made it better than ever with our fabulous antique nickel.  This wonderful Colt looks like it could just speak volumes about the cowboy days of old.

EXAMPLE 11

Silver & Ivory for a 2009 West Pointer

The production of this one-of-a-kind .45cal 4 3/4" Colt SAA and its custom case involved seven different craftsmen in five states to complete.  A second .45ACP cylinder was numbered to the gun and engraved in a complimentary pattern.  In addition to its sterling silver finish, this masterpiece is highlighted by custom-fitted one-piece pre-ban African Ivory Grips with a detailed relief carving of the 2009 West Point Class Crest on the left panel and it's owner's initials scrimshawed in the right panel.

EXAMPLE 12

This is an unusual gun.  The client sent it to me quite some time ago for the grip carving and checkering.  We did the work and then just recently he returned the gun for engraving and antiquing.  It is one of the nicest guns we ever done.

EXAMPLE 13

Here is a unique 1911 semi-auto .45.  This client had a favorite country and western song titled "The Devil's Right Hand" that he wanted incorporated into a gun.  Owner of  a rare coin shop, he wears his guns while at work, and he tells me this Colt will be no exception.

EXAMPLE 14

A very interesting Colt ordered exactly as you see it by a very discriminating client.  Check out those grips!  The serial number of this Colt is the client's first name followed by the numeral 1.

EXAMPLE #15

This is a brand new Colt that the customer ordered from us....specifically to his specifications.

 EXAMPLE 16

This is a pair of series 80 1911's.  They are exactly as the client ordered them....24K gold plated, with high relief carved ivory grips and consecutively serialized. 

EXAMPLE 17

Check out this pair.  Three months ago they were a tired drab looking pair of color cased and blue SAA's.  The black powder style frames, ideal caliber and barrel length gave us the foundation on which to make this pair of Colts what you see now.

EXAMPLE 18

We just completed this project for a very satisfied client.  He sent us his tired gun for a little face lift.  This is the result.  Spectacular "B" engraving, a custom tuned action, ivory grips like you dream about with antique Colt medallions, and a Colt that is every bit as new as the day it left the factory....only better!

EXAMPLE 19

 This is our latest posting of a new Nutmeg pair.  Our client sent us his pair of Colt .38 specials.  They were color case and blue plain Janes.  Nice guns...composite grips...but nothing to brag about.  We transformed them into what you see here, and for not a lot of money.  Silky smooth action jobs, ivory grips, classy engraving, antique nickel finish!  Now these guns are something very special to him...his son...his grandsons.  We can do this to your guns.

EXAMPLE 20

A recently retired law enforcement officer sent us his service revolver.  Most collectors realize the significance of law enforcement guns.  Imagine the importance of memorializing a gun that had seen service through an entire career.  What better way to honor a Dad or any loved one while at the same time creating an extremely valuable heirloom.

EXAMPLE #21

This old Colt was sent in by a customer and he would agree it was a "RAT".  It was refinished to death...no markings...all worn down...no grips.  A real boat anchor.  Then we performed our magic.  Now check it out!

EXAMPLE 22

A client sent in this Colt SAA.  It was a very plain used SAA with hard rubber grips.  Check it out now.  The cost complete for what you see?  About $2700.

EXAMPLE 23

This gun was a brand new Colt semi- auto but in the white.  We improved its appearance a little.

EXAMPLE 24

This was a new pair of consecutively serialized plain Jane Colts when we started.  Very reasonably priced.

  EXAMPLE 25

A Masterpiece of engraving and carving!

EXAMPLE 26

An example of French gray treatment with solid pure silver inlay.  This work is beautiful but starting to get costly.  Nevertheless, a good investment.

I can’t tell you how many Colt SAA’s we have seen with severely damaged screw slots.  In many cases not only are the screws damaged but the frame or grip strap surface near the screw is heavily scratched.  The primary contributing factor for this damage is not the poor guy trying to take his Colt apart.  It is almost always attributable to the use of the wrong kind or size of screw driver.  The driver slips out of the slot…result… buggered screw slot, or worse, the driver scoots across the surface of the frame or grip strap gouging blue or nickel surfaces. 

Finally, here is your opportunity to own a special screw driver set  that is specifically made for the Colt Single Action Army Revolver.  100% made in the U.S.A. this is an extremely high quality three piece set.  These are hand assembled, and custom hollow ground for a precise slot fit of the three required sizes for complete disassembly of your valuable Colt SAA.  Each set comes with a useful case with belt loops for convenient carrying.  A must for every Colt SAA enthusiast.  Price: $35.95 plus $8 shipping.

This great set of screw drivers comes complete with it's own carrying case with belt loop.  Just slip it onto your belt on the way to the range and never be without the correct tool for that expensive Colt.
