This is a beautiful pair of first generation pre-war Colt Single Action Army revolver as manufactured in 1931 that has been beautifully engraved and embellished by Ed Bohlin, one of the famous and prolific silver/engraver and leather saddle and holster maker of the 1920-1940 era. Many of his clients were the most famous Hollywood Western movie star actors such as Tom Mix, Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, Roy Rogers and even the Lone Ranger, Clayton Moore. He was born in Sweden and emigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900s eventually settling in the Los Angeles area where he learned his trade by starting out making highly decorative leather saddles, holsters and western accouterments that were fully adorned with the large and very decorative Southwestern/Mexican style Silver Conchos. His talents eventually lead him to also begin applying these large silver Conchos to Colt Single Action revolvers as shown here. l.
