Above you can see Rich Rosenthal's Masback from 1972, and already they have adopted what appears to be machine engraving. 21 years earlier, the engraving was hand cut, in LOBO's 1951 Masback:



LOBO, if you want me too, I can delete this post....just let me know. Even though this Terrier has some honest wear in it, it is a spectacular gun from the golden era of Smith and Wesson!!!

Best Regards, Les
I don't mind one bit Les! No worries

FWIW, I'm still searching for the Spring 3100 February 1951 issue that has the write up and the picture of Officer John Komar. I have black & white copies that were made of the issue and emailed to me by a very kind NYC librarian, but I would still love to have the real thing.
