Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This exact set is featured on page 20 of the book “The Art of Miniature Firearms, Centuries of Craftsmanship”. A copy of the book is included in the sale. Winner of NRA Silver Medal # 13. This is the finest David Kucer cased set of miniature firearms on the planet, bar none! A pair of Colt percussion revolvers in 1/3 scale including a 1851 Navy and a 1860 Army, is presented as a cased pair with accessories. Both revolvers, and the detachable shoulder stock, were engraved, in the most intricate detail imaginable in the Gustave Young style, with 24 karat gold wire border inlays & 22 karat gold shield shaped inserts inset into the rosewood grips, all done by master engraver Roger Sampson. The cylinder of the 1851 Navy is engraved with the original battle scene of the Texas Navy’s victory over Mexico on May 16, 1843. The 1960 Army fluted cylinder is engraved in the same style as the rest of the revolver. All of the scroll work has a relieved and matted background. I will be adding much more detailed information about this set soon. If you only collect “The Best”, then this is the set for you! Stock # DD-01. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
