[QUOTE=Doc44;135516711]Model 629 engraved and inlaid with gold by S&W's Master Engraver, Wayne D'Angelo, in 2001. The revolver is fitted with stocks by Nill and they are made of Amboyna Burl. The 629 shipped from the factory with the same type of stocks, but made of figured walnut. I ordered these from Nill and it took about six months to get them.

Smooth stocks made of Goncalo alves on a 44 Magnum with a factory 5-inch barrel and Class A-engraving that was shipped in September 1957.
I challenge anyone who doesn't believe a S&W, or any gun for that matter, isn't a work of art, take a look at these two! The only word that comes to mind is stunning! And then, beautiful! Thanks for sharing Bill!
