For sheer beauty I find the Colt 1860 Army Model irresistible.
What is your most aesthetically pleasing revolver?

Aesthetically that I own...66-1, 64 with tapered barrel, 629-4 mountain gun. That I don't own...3.5" 27 and 67/14. I'm not a real fan of underlug barrels although I own several. tapered barrels just look nice on the 4" Smiths.
I think its this one. A Model 65-5 Lady Smith. Don't care for the Lady Smith script; however, it has everything else I like. Stainless steel, satin finish, three inch barrel, shrouded ejector and fixed sights.

That I have? 3.5” 27-2. That Smith made? To me it’s a p&r 4” .44 Magnum (pre through 29-2).

S&W Mod. 27-2 3.5"
This is what I consider my most aesthetically pleasing Revolver. The S&W Mod. 27, 3.5", would also be my first place choice, out of all the revolvers offered, by all of the many revolver makers, in the last century. Please excuse my deplorable photography skills.

Sorry folks but I have a two way tie here both Colts. My third gen (signature series) Colt 1860 Army and third gen Colt SAA.
But I make it a very close second.Attachments

I have a few. These are some of my faves:
Two of these marked to "F" Company.
Comes in this box:
and with a large "I'm Your Huckleberry" sticker.
I have one of these with custom grips. It
s a Plinkerton 10/22 and has a longer barrel than the one shown. I threw away the plastic grips it originally came with.
Then I have another . SAA 1873 .45-but with only a 5 & 1/2 in barrel. All have blued or blacked finish and all have or will sooner or later have custom grips made of Maple.
I bought and gave one of the Custer .45s to my BiL for Christmas.

Another vote for the 1860 Colt 44.
Baby Chiefs snubby with a smooth ramp front sight.
This combination makes the aesthetic most agreeable in my eyes:
- full cylinder cavity
- stumpy grip handle
- tiny trigger guard
- original flat latch

I must admit I am also partial the the Smith M-19 in 4 inch. The 66 I also do like but not a real fan of SS guns. I have an ealy 66 in the box with SS sights front and rear. Debating either selling it or the 686 I have. Another that I do really like is my not so pristine 1950 Target in 45 Colt. Not pretty but it do shoot ok.

Without a doubt, the
Combat Masterpiece/15 with 4-inch barrel
followed closely by the
Model 14 with 6-inch barrel.
Soon as the gun has a partial or full length
underlug, it starts looking clunky.
And without a doubt, the clunkiest of the breed
is (sorry fellas) the 3.5-inch Model 27.
Doesn't mean I don't or can't like the "clunkers"
but they are not as pleasing to the eye.
P.S.: I've not only stayed at a Holiday Inn but
I've also had a few art appreciation classes.
