My guess is Jarvis as well. I have not found any definitive marks, but the time period is right and the style is consistent enough with some of his other confirmed work. Although the work is relatively simple, I love the way that it covers the spaces, and yet still leaves some "open space" that is additive to the aesthetics of the pattern. Another cool feature is at the bottom of the back strap...



...I have never seen anything like this on any of my factory engraved 357s or any other factory engraved gun with a grooved back strap - have any of you?
