The Royal Chateau – Kimber K6 DASA 4″ Grade AAA Custom Engraved .357 Magnum Revolver

This is a special‑edition, custom‑engraved Kimber K6 DASA driven by creativity and craft, not mass production.

The Royal Chateau Kimber K6 DASA 4″ – Grade AAA is a limited‑edition, custom‑engraved .357 Magnum revolver, built on Kimber’s K6 DASA platform and transformed by Merlin Enright of Altamont. It runs .357 Magnum in a 6‑round stainless steel cylinder, ships with 4‑inch barrel length, and features full‑coverage deep‑relief “Royal Chateau” engraving on the frame and barrel, plus custom‑engraved Super Rosewood grips made exclusively for this series. Limited to 1 of 300, this revolver is positioned as a collector‑grade, Altamont Special Edition firearm.

What “The Royal Chateau” gets you

• Kimber K6 DASA 4″ (.357 Magnum) base revolver.

• Grade AAA deep‑relief engraving (maximum coverage and depth, per Altamont’s grading system).

• Royal Chateau pattern designed and engraved by Merlin Enright.

• 4‑inch barrel and stainless steel construction for durability and resistance to wear.

• Custom‑engraved Super Rosewood grips made only for this Altamont Special Edition.

• Part number: K6D4‑CHA‑AAA.

• Type: Double‑Action / Single‑Action (DASA) revolver.

This is not a one‑off prototype, but each gun is engraved one at a time with the same Royal Chateau pattern, so every piece has its own individual hand‑crafted feel even though the design repeats.

Why Grade AAA and “Special Edition” matter

Altamont divides its engraved firearms into Factory Engraved and Special Edition tiers, with Special Edition pieces released in fixed, non‑repeatable quantities.

• Special Edition Series = limited run, 1 of 300 for this Royal Chateau K6 DASA.

• Engraving Grade AAA = “Master Level Coverage”:

  • Exquisite, complex detailing.

  • Ideal / maximum depth of deep‑relief engraving.

  • More coverage and depth than Grade A or AA.

Because of that, this revolver is aimed at:

• Serious engraving collectors.

• Kimber K6 and 1911‑style revolver fans.

• Buyers who want a bold, American‑style engraved revolver they can showcase, then still carry or shoot.

Design and layout

The Royal Chateau engraving is deep‑relief, American‑style scroll work with castle‑like architectural motifs, scrolls, and flourishes, wrapping over the barrel, frame, and sideplates. The stainless steel body gives the engraving a bright, reflective background that really pops in the light, and the Super Rosewood grips are both functional and decorative, carved to complement the motif rather than overpower it.

As a K6 DASA, the revolver is compact, 6‑shot, .357 Magnum, so it stays carry‑friendly and easy to handle despite the heavy engraving. The 4‑inch barrel is a practical length for concealed carry, range‑day shooting, or low‑profile home‑defense use, while the DASA trigger system gives you a double‑action first pull and a shorter, crisp single‑action pull for follow‑up shots.

Collector and acquisition angle

Because it is:

• 1 of 300 Altamont Special Editions,

• Grade AAA engraving,

• Designed and engraved by Merlin Enright,

this revolver is positioned as a future‑appreciating collectors’ piece, not just a “use‑it‑every‑day” gun. It’s the kind of piece that:

• Benefits from careful storage and limited use.

• Feels at home in a glass case, display rack, or show table.

• Still works perfectly as a .357 Magnum revolver if you choose to shoot it occasionally.

Altamont also offers a layaway plan for high‑end pieces like this, so buyers who want to own a Royal Chateau‑grade engraving can spread the cost over time instead of paying the full price upfront.
