ATLAS
COLLECTIBLE FIREARMS

Atlas Collectible Firearms is deeply honored to present an extraordinary, museum-grade pair of early Second Generation Colt Single Action Army revolvers chambered in .45 Long Colt. Manufactured in 1961 to commemorate the 1836 founding of Colt, this matching, consecutively numbered set carries the historically significant sequential serial numbers 1775AM and 1776AM. Both revolvers were master engraved by the late Ben Lane Jr., founding member and past president of the Firearms Engravers Guild of America (FEGA). They feature lavish foliate scroll engraving accentuated with baked black engraver's ink, finished in a brilliant high-luster nickel with vibrant nitre blue screws, triggers, and cylinder base pins. Solidifying their undeniable provenance, both guns are double-signed by the master engraver: stamped "BGL" below the base pin and hand-engraved with an intertwined "BL" on the forward trigger guard bow. Each revolver is fitted with a stunning set of genuine, smooth one-piece ivory grips displaying rich cream coloration and flawless fitment against the backstraps. The intricate scrollwork extends seamlessly across the frames, cylinders, and 7-1/2" barrels, highlighting Lane's signature American scroll motifs. This world-class exhibition set arrives housed together in a custom walnut presentation display case featuring brass hardware, a key, and a fitted royal burgundy velvet interior equipped with dedicated individual cartridge block slots. The condition of this sequential pair is pristine and as-new, remaining completely unfired since leaving the factory and presentation completion. The bright nickel finish retains an immaculate mirror luster throughout, showing only faint, superficial hairline handling marks on the barrel surfaces from careful vault display. The nitre-blued small parts retain 100% of their rich cobalt color, and the genuine one-piece ivory grips are in mint condition, entirely free of chips, warping, or hairline cracks. Mechanically, both single-action mechanisms operate with crisp, hand-fitted Colt precision and tight cylinder lockup, with each barrel preserving a mirror-bright bore with razor-sharp rifling lines.
