Default Engraved 22/32 HFT

For years I have wanted to have a pre-war, small frame, engraved, S&W revolver. Couldn't find one. So, several years ago I purchased a "beater" 22/32 HFT from a fellow SWCA member at the Kansas City Symposium. Afrer many hours of sanding, blocking, and polishing, I took the gun to Colt factory engraver, Bob Strosin, who also lives in Wisconsin.After we agreed upon a conservative pattern, Bob went to work. After Bob finished a fantastic job, I then took the parts to Classic Guns in Crete,IL where they applied the Carbona blue finish and color case hardening to the trigger and hammer. Finally, I made one of my beautiful walnut presentation cases and my dream came true. I now share it with you.
