L.D. Nimschke’s masterpiece Colt Single Action Army is proof that not all art is framed. It transcends fine arms collecting.
It is work from a generation talent, at the peak of his career, placed on its most important surface: the Colt Single Action Army – the most significant and iconic American firearm ever made. The result is forever known as Black Beauty.
This is Nimschke displaying his talent to the world, with the most gold he ever imbued onto a single piece. It is elegant, in superb condition, worthy of any institutional collection, and comes to Rock Island Auction courtesy of the celebrated Brig & Louise Pemberton Collection.
