Since there is a lot of interest in "fancy stocks", I thought I would post pictures of some of my stocks that have been carved by some well known engravers. The first three sets are by Alvin White (the first pair dates to 1956, the second pair of 1958, and the third most likely to 1959); the fourth set was carved by Kurt Jaeger in 1960 and the fifth set was carved by Russ Smith in 1965.

I think I've seen that first gun, in an S&W factory display. Nice work on all, of course.

Every time I open one of Doc's threads my third reaction is justification for higher education. My second reaction is picking my jaw up off the floor.
