The 1979 Colt Python “Alberta” – Canadian Province Special Edition
Digital Essay + Photos + Audio Narration

Step into a forgotten corner of Colt Custom Shop history with this exclusive feature from the Rose & Scroll Fine Gun Journal. This essay documents one of the rarest and most culturally significant Colt revolvers ever produced: the 1979 Alberta Province Python, part of a legendary twelve-gun commission honoring each Canadian province and territory.

Factory-engraved, gold-inlaid, and equipped with genuine ivory grips, this one-of-one revolver was part of a private series so obscure that it remained undocumented for decades. Backed by Colt factory letters and in-hand photography, this story explores the provenance, artistry, and national symbolism behind Alberta’s engraved tribute to the Canadian West.

This exclusive digital download includes:
· The full essay in beautifully formatted PDF
· High-resolution photographs of the revolver, grips, case, and accessories
· Audio narration for immersive listening on the go

Whether you're a Colt collector, Custom Shop enthusiast, or student of presentation-grade firearms, this revolver—and its story—deserves a place in your archive.
