TESTIMONIALS
I resigned my position with Colt's Manufacturing in 1993 and opened the doors of Nutmeg Sports. Since then I have never looked back and the business has prospered. My family and I continue to offer what we feel are the finest custom services available for the Colt SAA anywhere today. We constantly receive feedback from clients telling us how happy they are. Sometimes I show those letters and emails to my Wife, Daughter, Son-in-Law or close friends. Their response is always the same. They keep telling me to create a page with testimonials from clients. So....here it is. Beginning this month. They are all real...and unedited. I have only eliminated last names. I am also not posting any celebrity names and feedback although we have performed a lot of custom work for rock stars, movie and television personalities, and politicians. Most of these clients are closet collectors and like to remain that way.
The weapon is beautiful. Fine attention to detail and just what I wanted. I am still in shock as to the fine quality that you had done. I am greatly appreciative and hope I can do some more business with you in the future. Please feel free to use me as a reference if you desire.

Jim,
Just received my pair of Colt SAA's from UPS. Very nice indeed !!
Actions work very smoothly and I am real happy with the ivory
grips...VERY nice work ! Also, based on the general "norm", turnaround
time in completing was great (15 days...door-to-door...OUTSTANDING).
I'll definitely spread the word. Thanks again...I appreciate it. I'll be
back.
Regards,
Gene

Hi Jim,
Colt arrived on schedule and I think it
looks great. Fit and finish couldn't be better!
I have told my local gun shop about
your site and will take the piece in to show him.
Chalk up another satisfied customer!
Thanks,

Hi Jim,

Jim, I received my New Frontier that you worked on for me. It is absolutely beautiful! The action job is fantastic. The forcing cone is perfect. The ivories are stunning. This Colt is quite simply a dream come true for me. Thank you for your artistry and very quick turnaround! I'll be sending you something else some day for certain.
Thanks again.

Hi Jim,
Now that I have had a few days to really absorb Sears ’08 I just want to tell you again how extremely pleased I am with it. Please thank your entire team for me for the wonderful engraving, carving, finishing, fitting, and woodworking. I truly believe ANY Colt collector would love to own this gun. I know that I do.

Oh good Lord, Jim ~ they're wonderful! I'm
so glad you persuaded me to keep to the rose
theme.
What a difference the ivories make to these
two guns ~ absolutely unbelievably
magnificent.
Thanks so very much for this job. I am ~ as
you might tell ~ ecstatic.
I shall post pictures on ColtForum.com
tomorrow (always assuming I can do both the
guns and the grips justice) with my highest
recommendation for your work.
Hopefully I shall be able to send more work
your way, especially if you can turn your
skills to grips for the M.1889 New Navy/New
Army series of Colts. These grips are the
same profile as these Pythons and are
probably much the same size.
Again, thanks a million for the great job.
Very best regards,
Richard

Jim,
WOW...just received my engraved Single
Action Army with ivory grips and it looks
even better than the pictures on your
website. The engraving is outstanding and
the ivory grips are absolutely
beautiful...I've seen more than a few ivory
grips in my day and these are as "good as it
gets" in my opinion and I am in "awe" of the
detail and quality of the engraving.
Needless to say, I am extremely pleased and
will be very proud to own and display this
most fantastic handgun and pass it on to my
son in the future. In closing, I agree with
your statment regarding your most reasonable
pricing and would challenge anybody to find
a gun of this overall quality at anywhere
near your prices. Again, many thanks and
I'll be back !!
Regards,
Gene

Jim,
Thank you! Received the ivory grips
today and needless to say I am incredibly
pleased. Everything about them is
perfect! The fit is even better than
the
English walnut grips that Ted fitted at that
time of the build. The service,
quality, turnaround time, everything really,
about the transaction exceeded
expectations. Thank you for putting
the finishing touches on the signature
piece in my collection. You have
earned another loyal customer and I will be
recommending your services every opportunity
I have to do so. Thank you again.
Best regards,
Justin

Jim,
Just received the custom display case for
the engraved Colt SAA recently purchased
from you. As I've come to expect from Nutmeg
Sports, the case is of very high quality and
competitively priced. Needless to say, I was
not disappointed. The case is beautiful and
my Colt looks fantastic in it ! Once again,
a big THANKS.
Regards,
Gene

Jim,
Just returned from “Bike Week” in Laconia, NH and got the grips/medallions. They’re perfect! Many thanks.

Hi Jim, The gun arrived safe and sound. I love the grips. The cards are probably 40% larger than the ones that Dennis did on my Purdue pair, and both the cards and steer head have much more depth. I think they go perfect with the way this gun was engraved. What an improvement from those poorly fitting pearl grips that were on it before. Your action job on an early 2nd generation gun..... all I can say is "wow", it makes me want to shoot it. Terry

Hi Jim,
Got the D’Angelo Colt a little while ago. Without question the nicest nickel engraved piece I have ever had. I’m sure glad I jumped on it immediately.
*******
Jim,
Just
wanted to drop you a note and say that I
received the 1911 ivory grips you did for me
and they take my breath away. I felt like a
kid at Christmas again when I opened the
package. I have been blessed with four
daughters who all enjoy the outdoors and
shooting with their father. When I put the
grips onto my engraved Colt 1911 the
fighting began right away. They all want to
have it they get their pistol permits!
I wanted to say
thank you very much for helping create a
family heirloom that will be treasured for
generations to come.
With much
thanks

Hi Jim,
I got my grips today and they
are just beauty beyond perfection. The grips
instantly took my gun to the next level.
Thanks again for your hard work
and it
was a pleasure doing business with you.
God bless and take care,
******
Jim,
Received my Colt with the new
ivory grips yesterday. Have to say, what a
great job you did and how fast the
turn-a-round time was. This is the second
Colt Pistol you've made and installed ivory
grips on for me. Both jobs were well done
and fast but I'll have to say that, I think
the ivory grips on this blued and
casehardened gun really make a big
difference. A job well done and I can not
say enough, how happy I am with your
service.

Jim,
Just received my grips!
They look fantastic! The interpretation of the eagle
design I sent you exceeded my expectations, and
the quality is phenomenal!
Look forward to
doing more business with you.

Jim,
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the work that you have done for me. You came highly recommended and I have been very pleased with everything. You took the time to answer all of my questions, helped to educate me about all of my options, and were great about getting back in touch with me.
The color, fit, and finish of the ivory grips on the pair of the Colt SAA revolvers is perfect. I couldn’t imagine anything more beautiful to complement these guns. When I first felt the stock trigger pull on these Colts out of the box, I couldn’t believe the amount of creep. Your trigger work is EXACTLY what I wanted and I appreciate that fact that you can do this with all Colt parts and without modifications to the gun that would decrease the value.
The combination of the grips and action work is a fantastic value, especially when you consider the cost of shipping as you have mentioned. This is my first pair of Colts, but it won’t be my last and all of mine will be headed to you for your excellent service. Thanks again for everything!
Best Regards,

Dear Jim,
I want to let you know I have received
my "baby." The engraving is absolutely
gorgeous. The detail is amazing
considering this is not a flat surface,
but one with curves and bends. It
cannot be easy to engrave such a piece.
The workmanship leaves me speechless. I
feel very fortunate to have this Colt in
my beginner's collection. Please send
my sincere appreciation to Mr. Lombardy
for his artistry.
The grips are the jewelry to this Colt.
The color and grain of the ivory is
exquisite. The grips are perfectly
fitted and silky smooth. Perfection.
Thank you so much for "parting" with
this custom Colt. I am grateful for the
opportunity to own such a piece. It
will be well taken care of.
Best regards,
******* Got the grips last night. WOW!!! I’m very pleased!!! I’ll post positive feedback for you on GunBroker tonight. * ******* |
