congratulations! Many of us would probably like to venture into that realm but there's only one problem. MONEY 
That baby had to set you back several stacks of "hundo's". 
Its a beauty!

Very Nice!!! If you ever want to get "out" of the realm of factory engraved guns, I'd be more than willing to take that one off your hands for a stack of Benjamins  . It would fit in with this one that is from the same period...

Richard,
I have to admit that I have coveted that engraved pinto since I first saw it. Maybe we'll have to see who gets weak first

Steve:
Does your letter say that Jarvis engraved the gun?

Beautiful revolver, now all you need is a fancy holster rig and a bar-b-que to attend.

Very nice engraved ".357" Magnum. The work certainly looks like that of Harry Jarvis, but if it isn't, it is most likely the work of Virginia LeBlanc whom he mentored at S&W. She started work there in around 1956, so if the gun dates to 1955 or earlier, I would rule her out.

Beautiful piece.
Way out of my league. I can't even sell peanuts in that ballpark.

Steve...Harry Jarvis for sure as it also pre-dates R. J. Smith.
