What some people will do to cover up a turn ring!
That's a real beauty right there.

Good Golly Miss Molly!! That is some spectacular engraving job. I'm no expert on these things, is it factory engraved? I see the hammer and trigger are engine turned, I don't remember seeing that treatment before. What a beauty!!!
Best Regards, Les

That is a stunner! Beautiful. I really like the jeweled trigger/hammer along with the elaborate engraving. Who did the engraving?

I'm not a big fan of engraved pistols, but there is something about this one that I really appreciate and like. This gun looks like it may have been fired, and the grip finish is a little worn but beautiful. The way the engraver highlighted the turn line is genius, and you could shoot this without diminishing it's beauty. This gun has both beauty and character. Congrats!

Mark:
Beautiful 357. Possible engravers - Angelo Bee or Denise Thirion... Are there any engravers marks/initials/etc... on the gun?

Thanks.. Did take pictures of recoil shield - looks as if the gun is unfired. The grip are not original and were placed on as a temp solution.. Original grips are another story.
Kit Gun Engraved 19-3 and a terrific set of carved grips

Here's what Angelo Bee's mark looks like on a gun he engraved. This mark is almost too small to make out with the naked eye. This was just under the grip on the side plate.
