This is a modified from original and reblued Triple Lock revolver, plain and simple. As you can see, Bob Loveless was a knife maker.

Bob Loveless - Wikipedia

Not a gunsmith. Plus, once you modify a revolver from original, it’s forever ruined. Who cares whether or not you ruined it forever, I did, Bob Loveless did, a skilled gunsmith did, or the Pope did, for that matter? I wouldn’t pay even a one cent premium over the value of this being a non factory reblued and modified Triple Lock revolver.

Others may value this revolver differently, for reasons not apparent to me.
So, with all due respect, does that mean that if someone had sent a Registered Magnum to Churchill for engraving, that you would not pay even one cent over the current value of an non-engraved RM, since it would be a non factory modified and refinished revolver?
