Ink Impression ("Pull") from a Gold-inlaid Colt Revolver

Gustave Young

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gold-inlaid metal piece on a beige background, resembling a gun part. The piece is long and narrow with a pointed end on the left and a straight edge on the right. Three circular holes are present, with the largest on the left and two smaller ones to its right. The metal features intricate scrollwork designs. A small oval on the right reads "FRED KRAUSET". The beige background appears to be torn paper with visible edges and some darker spots.
