Masters of Embellishment: Engraved Colt Revolvers

Enjoy a guided tour of Colt factory engraving across various Colt models and from several renowned 20th century revolvers. Discover the evolution of this remarkable art as it is passed from one master engraver to the next.

The Colt revolvers that have been selected are all cartridge firing Colts, but even in this transitory period from the 19th to the 20th century, a fantastic story is told. Engravers such as Cuno Helfricht, William Goff, and Wilbur Glahn each provided decades of experience and artistry for the Colt factory and those who wanted finely embellished revolvers.
