allright Bob,

The sideplate pattern on your gun is one that I have seen most of. I am posting pictures of 2 more with the same pattern but I have seen at least 2 or 3 more with the same pattern.

This one unfired since it was engraved

This one is attributted to a Deputy Sheriff in Comal County Texas

And yours


It would seem that they had a pattern Book a Ranger could pick out what they wanted.

here is a picture of Lee's ol 38 M&P that letters to W&K and a 2nd Model 44 that I haven't lettered yet, they have a pattern that matches and I have seen 1 more like these.




This set of guns is what I figure was their more elaborate engraving pattern what I would call full coverage if that is what you would call it.

add this 38 M&P to this 3some for a 4some


I would sure like to hear from some of the others with these guns. I will do a post later with Steerhead pearlies.
