I think I may write a book. The title will be "THIS IS WHAT GOOD STUFF LOOKS LIKE".
This gun will be pictured on the cover.
If anything just SCREAMS quality, this is it!

You are correct, Jim engraved this for me in 1990. I don't have anymore photos to share of this revolver, but here is a Model 60 with knife and custom made case Jim did for me for my 30th birthday. Jim is pretty much retired these days, but I do see him every so often at area gun shops, or local gun shows.

My oh my! What a beautifully engraved revolver! I remain in awe of same and it's engraver. Secondly, I have the good fortune in owning one of James DeMuncks' masterpiece works, a Ruger 44 mag Flattop which he offered on Gunbroker some years ago. He is a true artist and his genius gives me shivers when I hold his work.

A thing of beauty and a joy forever.
As a ham-handed Philistine who actually enjoys shooting finely decorated firearms, I appreciate the lack of engraving around the cylinder stop notches. By the looks of the very faint turn line, so did Mr. Hayes.
