Cover of "Man at Arms" Magazine!
Anyone have a chance to see the cover of the latest issue of "Man at Arms" magazine? It's got a great shot of the first 4-inch .44 magnum engraved by the S&W factory, shipped in November 1956. From the bracebeemer collection.
Beautiful gun. Totally jealous!

bracebeemer is a member of the SWCA and this forum. I'm privileged to know him. He's an avid collector, a straight shooter and a true gentleman. I've seen quite a few of his treasures and all all I can say is, "Wow"! 
A number of his guns will soon be published in a book on S&W engraving. I'll be buying a copy as soon as it's available!

Dave, thanks for the very kind words. Folks,Dave and I set up tables very close to one another at the Michigan antique arms show. We also see each other at club meets and he is a great guy with really nice S&Ws.
I can give you a little background on how this cover shot came into being. Mike Kennelly has been working almost three years on a book he is publishing on engraved Smith & Wessons.Man at arms publishing owned by Stuart Mowbray is photographing,doing the layout and printing the book. It's the only book dedicated to just engraved S&W's and Mike called me and asked if I wanted to have my guns photographed and included in his book. That's a no brainer!
My wife and I drove to Woonsocket RI in October and Stuart did the photo shoot.After he was finished he asked me if I would like one of my guns on the cover of his next issue Duh! "of course I would" That's how it came about.

bracebeemer: My apologies for using your real name in my initial post. I was simply listing how it was credited in the magazine. The post has been edited by another member.
Anyway, thanks for sharing such a beautiful gun! And congrats!

I'm sorry for the screw up on the pictures. This is my first attempt to post pictures(not very good ones at that) I'll try again.

Who engraved that one - was it Harry Jarvis? I like it a lot.

RK...I have examined the 44 a couple of times. It is the work of Harry Jarvis.
