Just some old steel, wood, and leather...
Got bored and thought I'd share. I appologize for the iPhone pics, but it's all I have at the moment. The steel & wood is a 1958, 28 no dash, and appears unfired. The holster is an excellent example of George Lawrence tooled leather, which I picked up with a 1966, 28-2 acquisition a few years ago. The Hoppes label is trade marked "1959"...and it's pretty full 
Note: the piece of mahogany they're all laying on is my grandfather's bar which he had custom made on the Upper East Side of Manhattan sometime in 1946 shortly after returning from North Africa.

Your 28 no dash is in great shape! I bet it shoots great.

The only thing missing from that picture is a hot cup of coffee and a 1960 all model circular.

Since the setting is a bar, perhaps a cooler beverage would be appropriate, no?

I read the title too quickly when I clicked, thought I was going to be reading about steel wool and leather!!
Nice rig, nice composition for the picture.

Nothing wrong with that picture for sure. Nice gun, just don't get high sniffing the Hoppe's.
