Colt & Remington Classics Of The American West Cased Set

Two of the most recognized handguns of the frontier sit side by side here, and someone took the time to dress them as a true matched pair. The Colt Single Action Army carries the barrel address you'd expect, COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY .45, but everything around it has been transformed. Deep relief scroll runs the length of the barrel, across the frame, and around a cylinder cut with bullet motifs and banded in gold. The hammer wears a bright gold finish with a knurled spur, the screws are gold accented, and a gold rampant colt sits proud on the recoil shield. The grips are a warm, polished ivory that plays against the dark blue and black of the steel.

The Remington Model 95 over-and-under derringer follows the same script. Its frame and barrels carry matching scrollwork, gold line borders, and ivory bird's-head grips, scaled down but cut to the same theme as the Colt. Put them together and the intent is obvious. This was built as a set, not assembled from two unrelated guns.

Both pieces show coordinated black and blue finishes with crisp gold inlay that has held its color. The engraving is dimensional, not surface scratching, and the high points catch light cleanly against the darker recessed fields. Look closely at the Colt's recoil shield and you'll find patent date markings under the gold work.

The set lives in a fitted walnut case lined in burgundy velvet, with a brass Classics of the American West plaque, a Colt accessory box, and ivory-handled cleaning tools laid into their own recesses. It's a display piece first, meant to be opened and shown. For a collector who wants the two silhouettes that define Western iron presented as one cohesive statement, this checks every box that matters.
