The Billiard Theme Throughout the Colt Custom Eight Ball

The engraving on this Colt Custom Eight Ball tells a cohesive story from every angle. The right side of the cylinder displays the Serpentine Colt logo beautifully inlaid in silver, while the left side of the cylinder features billiard cues inlaid in silver alongside four billiard balls marked 1, 8, 3, and 6, representing 1836, the founding year of Colt's Manufacturing Company. 

The loading gate carries a pool chalk cube inlaid in silver, and the left side ball on the frame features an eight ball inlaid in silver as well, tying the theme together across nearly every visible surface.

Details That Reward Close Inspection

The backstrap features a rack of balls engraved on the shovel along with the inscription "Rack Em Up," a playful nod to the game that inspired the entire build. The ejector tube is extensively engraved with scrollwork and carries the inscription "EIGHT ON THE BREAK," while the barrel itself displays silver inlaid points reminiscent of those traditionally found on custom billiard cues. Scrollwork accents the entire firearm, ensuring that no surface was left untouched by the engraver's hand.
