Colt Arvo Ojala Commemorative 3rd Gen. Single Action Army Revolver SAA – Gold Engraved, Ivory Grips

This Colt Arvo Ojala Commemorative revolver is a striking tribute to one of Hollywood’s most influential gun coaches. Arvo Ojala, renowned fast-draw artist and holster maker, trained countless actors and stuntmen, leaving a permanent mark on Western cinema. His iconic quick-draw duel with Marshal Dillon opens every episode of Gunsmoke, cementing his place in entertainment history.

Built on the legendary Colt 3rd Generation Single Action Army platform, this revolver is chambered in .45 Colt with a 4 ¾" barrel. It is adorned with full-coverage vine-style foliate scroll engraving by Colt Master Engraver Robert Valade, whose signature appears on the frame. Finished in full gold plating and fitted with one-piece ivory grips, it exemplifies Colt’s artistry and commemorative craftsmanship.

Markings include “ARVO OJALA COMMEMORATIVE” on the barrel, along with an inscribed backstrap celebrating the “35th Anniversary Gun Coach for Hollywood – No. 1.” Housed in a walnut presentation case with a red velvet interior and brass commemorative plaque, this revolver remains in near unfired condition, showing only light handling from storage. A must-have for Colt enthusiasts and collectors of Hollywood history.
