The pictures of this masterpiece actually speak for themselves but please take the time to click on each picture and take in the attention to detail.  If you know Colt engraving, you will also know that guns like this one are very difficult if not impossible to find on the open market.  If you do not know about engraving, you will at least know that you are seeing something very beautiful and very special.

It's the cosmetics that make this gun special.  Let's start with those awesome one piece genuine pre-ban elephant ivory matching bark grips.  These grips just pop and give this Colt the look of the old West.  You seldom see ivory like this.  The finish on this gun, serial number S46949A, is the next special feature.  While this gun is brand new, we have plated it in the antique style.  The piece shows as giving a softer appearance.  We have also given this Colt a custom tuned action and recut the forcing cone to an exact 11 degrees. Cocking this Colt is like driving a Ferrari.  Powerful, yet smooth as silk. The engraving coverage is a strong "C++" in a blend of American styles.  The clamshell pattern on the barrel is particularly striking.  This is a colt that would make any collector proud.

G-3 explosio.gif (2688 bytes)sold.gif (2104 bytes)There are so many features on this new Colt SAA I don't know where to begin.  It is one of the most popular collector caliber and barrel lengths 4 3/4" .45 caliber.  Serial number on this Colt is S46956A.  The "C++ coverage is a blend of the styles L.D. Nimschke who emigrated to the U.S. from Germany circa 1850 and Cuno Helfricht.  Nimschke's most famous gun was the Colt he engraved for Teddy Roosevelt.  This masterpiece has been specially prepared for engraving for Nutmeg Sports at the Colt Custom Gun Shop.  The cylinder flutes have been beveled and the backstrap ears and hammer contour have been meticulously matched.  The engraver has fully covered the front sight, the hammer, and the inside of the gate and gate seat as well as the inside front of the trigger guard where the fingers wrap.  The gun is nickel plated and inked with a wonderful treatment of fire bluing on the small parts.  The panel screws are qualified so they line up exactly in the horizontal position when tightened.  Take note of the special engraving on the hammer.  The rear contour between the backstrap ears and the top surface of the hammer have felt the artist's chisel.  Each side of the hammer is breathtakingly engraved with the depiction of an eagle's head and wing.  In addition the hammer shows a  snake's body beneath the eagle.  True artistry such as this is rare.  The grips on this masterpiece are absolutely breathtaking.  This is African elephant ivory at it's best.  This Colt has also received a completely custom tuned action job.  If you decide to shoot this gun you will find that this gun functions like it has internal parts made of silk.  Search the web.  Check the auction gun sites.  You will not find a Colt this nice.  If you are able to find anything even near the way this gun shows and we doubt you will, it will be priced thousands higher.  Take your time and really look at these detailed photos.

Nimschke.  There is very little in the way of un-engraved surface area remaining on this Colt.  The hammer alone is covered on nearly every square centimeter possible.  The inside of the gate is covered as well.  Even the panel screws on this Colt have felt the artist's chisel.  The grips are hand selected pre-ban African elephant ivory.  The action has been custom tuned.

Nimschke and Cuno Helfricht, very bold and unmistakable.  The coverage which is inked shows almost as a "D."  In addition to the normally engraved places, this masterpiece is engraved on the front sigh, the hammer sides and rear contour, the gate seat and two surfaces of the gate.  The engraver has signed this gun in two different locations.The grips on this masterpiece are of African elephant ivory, in the one piece configuration with natural color that shows grain that you just very seldom see.  This gun would represent a wonderful addition to the finest collection or that one time gun you have always wanted.

G-8 sold.gif (2104 bytes)This new Colt SAA is one of the most profusely engraved guns we have ever listed.  The particular gun is a second generation vintage serial number 41664SA.  The caliber is .45 and the barrel length is 5 1/2".  The finish is nickel, with the added feature of ink and bake that really causes the engraving coverage to pop.  The panel screws have each been qualified to tighten at precisely the horizontal position.  The coverage on this fine Colt is full "D+" in the style of Rudolph Kornbrath who emigrated to the U.S. from Austria in 1910 and soon became a dominant force until he was struck with a disabling stroke in 1937.  Virtually no areas of this revolver remain untouched by the artist's chisel.  Places that are rarely engraved have received special treatment.  The cylinder flutes always represent a big challenge for an engraver because of their concave shape.  Each flute has been painstakingly engraved.  The loading gate, gate seat and gate front have each been covered.  The face and rear of the cylinder is engraved between each chamber hole.  The front sight and the hammer are fully engraved.  The inside front of the trigger guard where the fingers wrap is engraved.  Each of the panel screws have even been engraved.  The grips are genuine African elephant ivory in the one piece configuration.  Each grip panel has been hand scrimshawed with an image of an angel.  One angel is displayed extending an olive branch and the opposite angel shows an ominous raised sword.  The artist was so proud of this work, he has signed this gun three times.  In over forty years, this is one of the finest and most fully engraved Colts it has been my pleasure to offer.

Our newest Colt is a gun with a similar style of engraving we have featured before with tremendous success.  The serial number is S33647A and it is a 4 3/4" nickel plated SAA in .45 caliber.  The style is another blend of the classical styles of Nimschke and Helfricht and shows like a full "D"coverage.  The front sight and hammer are even engraved.  Our engraver has even taken the time to engrave the inside of the surface where the thumb touches to open the gate.  This is a place that seldom if ever see the engraver's chisel.  The effect is just stunning.  We have qualified the panel screws so that all of the slots are horizontal and have matched the backstrap ears to the rear contour of the hammer just the way Colt used to do it fifty years ago.  A complete fire blue package as well as inked and baked engraving add wonderfully to this fine masterpiece.  The grips are hand selected one piece African Elephant ivory and are a beautifully colored.

SG2 sold.gif (2104 bytes)Another new Colt for Nutmeg.   Serial # S33980A is a 4 3/4" .45 that has been lavishly covered in a very strong "D" scroll that shows more like a "D+".  As usual I had the artist cover the front sight as well as the hammer and the inside of the gate where the thumb makes contact. The pattern on this masterpiece is a blending of an American style with that of the style of the German Master, Rudolph Kornbrath. The cuts are deep and bold and the background has been heavily relieved. This wonderful piece has been plated with nickel and then given the treatment of ink and bake followed by a complete fire bluing of all of the small parts.  The engraver has signed this masterpiece in three places.  Coverage even includes the cylinder flutes.   It is almost unheard of to engrave the cylinder flutes of a single action, but this one has that rare feature.  The backstrap ears have been matched to the rear contour of the hammer, and the panel screws are completely qualified so that they tighten with the slots in the horizontal position. The backstrap has also been reconfigured to the Bird's Head" style. The grips are beautifully grained African elephant ivory in the one piece configuration.

This one is a 5 1/2" nickel plated gun in .45 long Colt caliber.   Serial # S33457A has a very strong "C" level of coverage including the front sight and hammer. On this gun I asked the engraver to apply some engraving to the inside of the loading gate where the thumb contacts.  She did a wonderful job.  The style is the classic L.D. Nimschke.  This gun is signed twice by the engraver.  The small parts have all been given the striking treatment of fire blue, and the engraving has been inked to add visual clarity.  Notice how the ears of the backstrap have been matched to the hammer contour just like Colt used to do it 50 years ago.  The grips are hand selected genuine African elephant ivory in the one piece configuration.  A really nice gun that would fit into the finest of Colt collections.

SG6 sold.gif (2104 bytes)Our newest Colt is a gun with the same type of engraving we have featured before with tremendous success.  It is a copy of the famous "Lucky Lady" gun that was originally engraved by the master Ben Lane Jr.  Our rendition is not exactly the same and has a few added features.   The serial number is S33458A and it is a 5 1/2" nickel plated SAA in .45 caliber.  The style is pure classic Helfricht and the coverage is just shy of a full "D".  Of course we have had the front sight and hammer engraved.  Our engraver has even taken the time to engrave the inside of the trigger guard where the fingers wrap as well as the inside of the gate surface where the thumb touches to open the gate.  These are areas that seldom if ever see the engraver's chisel.  The effect is just stunning.  We have qualified the panel screws so that all of the slots are horizontal and have matched the backstrap ears to the rear contour of the hammer just the way Colt used to do it fifty years ago.  A complete fire blue package as well as inked and baked engraving add wonderfully to this fine masterpiece.  The grips are hand selected one piece African Elephant ivory and are a beautifully colored.

Formerly called G-3, this is a gun that I found photos of and is a pattern that was very popular.  I liked it so well that I sent it out to the engraver and asked her to do it again with just a couple of modifications.  This beauty is a 5 1/2" nickel plated gun in what else but .45 long colt caliber.   The coverage is a very strong "C" level including the front sight and hammer.  The style is the classic L.D. Nimschke.  This gun is signed twice by the engraver.  The small parts have all been given the striking treatment of fire blue, and the engraving has been inked to add visual clarity.  Notice how the ears of the backstrap have been matched to the hammer contour just like Colt used to do it 50 years ago.  The grips are hand selected genuine African elephant ivory in the one piece configuration.  A really nice gun that would fit into the finest of Colt collections.

SG8 sold.gif (2104 bytes)Here is another fabulous SAA from Nutmeg Sports.  This one is serial #S33648A.  It is a .45 caliber with a 4 3/4" barrel.  The engraving is our special blending of the classic styles of L.D. Nimschke and Cuno Helfricht.  We have done this pattern very similarly before and it is always a winner.  This one is meticulously finished in fine sterling silver.  The engraving has been inked and baked and all of the small parts have received the treatment of fire blueing.  We installed the ever popular bullseye ejector rod head onto this gun as well.  The panel screws have each been qualified so that they line up horizontally when tightened.  The backstrap ears have been aligned perfectly with the rear contour of the hammer just the way Colt used to do it 50 years ago.  The engraving on this silver plated gun shows as nicely as any we have seen.   It is a very generous "C+" coverage.  The engraver took extra pains to engrave the inside of the gate as well as the gate pocket.  That pocket engraving is the first time we have done this.  We think you will agree that it looks smashing.   The grips are perfectly matched genuine African elephant ivory and were hand selected and fitted by me in my own CT shop where I do all of the ivory work for The Colt Custom Gun Shop.  The grips are in the one piece configuration.

This Colt is a 5 1/2" .45 and was also engraved in the style of Cuno Helfricht.  The coverage is a very strong "C" including the front sight and hammer.  The finish is fine sterling silver and has been inked and baked.  The screws, trigger, cylinder pin, and ejector rod head have all been given the rich treatment of fire blue.  The grips are of one piece configured genuine African Elephant ivory with deep dish silver medallions.

SG10 sold.gif (2104 bytes)This new Colt SAA has the bird's head configured backstrap with a .45 caliber 3 1/2" barrel, serial #S29876A.   This gun has a full ejector rod and rod housing.  Prior to 1992 it was nearly impossible to find a 3 1/2" Colt with an ejector rod and housing.  If you could find one it was usually an after market conversion.  All of Nutmeg's bird's heads come direct from the Colt Custom Shop that way.  The engraving is ours and this gun is engraved in a Cuno Helfricht style with a "C" coverage including the front sight and the hammer, and has been plated in nickel. The engraver has even engraved the inside of the gate surface where your thumb contacts.  The engraving coverage has been inked and all of the small parts have been given the rich treatment of fire blue.  The panel screws have each been qualified to tighten when the slots are exactly in the horizontal position.  Take a look at my new metal prep work.  That quarter round area on the back of the hammer matches the backstrap ears exactly just like the guns of fifty years ago.  The grips are hand selected one piece African Elephant ivory.

This is our newest gun as of June 1st and is one of the most spectacular guns we have had at Nutmeg in a long time.  I just gave this gun to one of our engravers and told him to do what he wanted.  We are sure you will agree, the results are stunning.  It is a 7 1/2" 44-40 Colt Frontier Six Shooter #SA66992 covered with a very generous "C+" level of engraving and clad in nickel plating.   The style is a marvelous blend of L.D.Nimschke, Cuno Helfricht, and the late Howard Dove.  The front sight and hammer are engraved, as well as the inside of the loading gate and the top of the hammer.  The engraving has been inked and the small parts have been given the treatment of fire blue.  The panel screws are each qualified to align horizontally.  The grips are one piece African elephant ivory and each panel has been scrimmed with an angel in mid air.  On one side the angel is extending an olive branch from her hand and on the other side the angel has a long sword in her hand.   This gun is a wonderful masterpiece.

This Colt is a brand new third generation serial number S34998A.  The caliber is everyone's favorite, the classic .45 long colt.  Barrel length is 4 3/4", and the finish is bright nickel.  Our trademark inking has added beauty and depth to the finely cut scroll which has been applied in a full "C+" coverage in a blend of American styles.  The coverage includes the front sight, the hammer, and the inside of the loading gate.  The engraver has even engraved the gate seat on the frame.  This is a fairly new feature, and to our knowledge we are the only ones offering it.  As usual you get more for your money with a Nutmeg Colt.  Like the complete fire blue package and qualified panel screws on this gun as well as the recontoured backstrap ears that match the rear contour of the hammer.  Colt used to do this about 100 years ago.  The cylinder's chamber leads have been meticulously chamfered.  The grips are one piece configured genuine African elephant ivory with subtle tan striping that matches at the butt in a unique herringbone pattern.  This gun will make a wonderful addition to any collection.

Nimschke who emigrated to the U.S. from Germany circa 1850.  Nimschke's most famous gun was the Colt he engraved for Teddy Roosevelt.  This masterpiece has been specially prepared for engraving for Nutmeg Sports at the Colt Custom Gun Shop.  The cylinder flutes have been beveled and the backstrap ears and hammer contour have been meticulously matched.  The engraver has fully covered the front sight, the hammer, and the inside of the gate and gate seat as well as the inside front of the trigger guard where the fingers wrap.  The gun is nickel plated and inked with a wonderful treatment of fire bluing on the small parts.  The panel screws are qualified so they line up exactly in the horizontal position when tightened.  Take note of the special engraving on the hammer.  The rear contour between the backstrap ears and the top surface of the hammer have felt the artist's chisel.  Each side of the hammer is breathtakingly engraved with the depiction of an eagle's head and wing.  In addition the hammer shows a  snake's body beneath the eagle.  True artistry such as this is rare.  We have added the extremely popular bull's eye ejector rod head to this Colt.  The grips on this masterpiece are absolutely breathtaking.  This is African elephant ivory showing the finest matching coloration I have ever seen.  Search the web.  Check the auction gun sites.  You will not find a Colt this nice.  If you are able to find anything even near the way this gun shows it will be priced thousand higher.

SG21 sold.gif (2104 bytes)It seems like a long time but we finally have a new Colt to put up for sale.  Lately all of our guns have been gobbled up by eager clients before they ever get put up on the site.  This wonderful Colt is the exception.  It is a brand new 5 1/2" .45, serial number S44162A.  The frame style on this gun is the rare and popular black powder style and this Colt is shown with the extremely popular bull's eye ejector rod head.  The metal prep work for this gun was specially done for Nutmeg Sports by The Colt Custom Gun Shop.  The backstrap ears have been match polished to the rear contour of the hammer.  The panel screws have been qualified to tighten precisely at the horizontal position.  The engraving coverage is an extremely generous level of "C++" American style scroll.  It is about as close as you can get to a full "D" coverage, but we always like to see some of the gun.  Looking at this gun you can clearly see the extra time and effort that the artist put into this work.  The front sight, the hammer, inside of the gate, the gate seat, and the inside of the trigger guard where the fingers wrap have each felt the artist's chisel.  The finish is a perfect nickel plate accented by ink and bake, and fire blue small parts.  The action has been custom tuned so if the owner of this Colt decides to fire it the feeling will be of silky smooth precision with a crisp clean trigger break.  Finally, the grips on this wonderful Colt are genuine African elephant ivory in the one piece configuration.  The color is spectacular and is book matched from side to side.  Colts of this quality are very difficult to locate at any price.  Signed twice by the engraver, and affordably priced.

SG22 sold.gif (2104 bytes)It has been a few months since we posted new guns for sale.  Clients just keep buying them before we even get them on the site.  We kept this one quiet just so we could get a new gun up.  This one is a beauty and worth the wait.  It is of course a Colt SAA 3rd generation.  Serial number S39893A.  It has all of our usual bells and whistles but this one has even more features.  It is the ever popular .45 caliber with a 4 3/4" barrel.  The engraving is such a strong "C++" that I am tempted to just say it is full "D" coverage.  The cutting is flawless and smooth in an updated version of the famous "Lucky Lady" gun that was engraved just after the turn on the last century.  This masterpiece is just full of special surprises that can be seen in the pictures.  Accentuating the engraving coverage the artist has engraved the front sight, the hammer, the inner part of the trigger guard where the fingers wrap, as well as the inside if the loading gate.  Then in a bold departure this artist has taken this work to yet another level of beauty.  The top of the hammer is engraved in a twisted rope pattern that precisely matches the twisted rope pattern seen on the top strap of the frame.  Not stopping there, the rear face of the cylinder is also engraved in a delicate cross hatch pattern that can only be seen while the gate is open.  While the gate is open you may also want to see it's front flat surface.  It also is ENGRAVED!!  The more you look at this gun, the more you see!  The plating is nickel with the added accents of fire bluing to the screws, cylinder pin, ejector rod head and trigger.  The surface is inked and baked adding wonderful depth to the overall effect.  The panel screws have each been qualified to tighten at precisely the horizontal position.  The backstrap ears and rear hammer contour have been perfectly matched and the engraving of this area also matches perfectly.  Lastly this gun displays beautifully matching 1 piece African elephant ivory grips.  This highly prized Colt will fit into the finest of collections.
