My daughter and son in law are fanatic Baltimore Ravens fans and to the end for my daughters birthday I purchased an Model.10-2, 4 or 5 inch barrel ( only seen the gun once and I can not remember for sure), marked on the back strap Dept. of Corrections. By the way my son in law is a Prison Guard and the Dept.of Correction engraving can be taken several different ways
While very mechanically sound it only had about 20% finish remaining and the grips looked like they alone fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down, thus the $150.00 price tag.
Now I know some of you all will cringe when you hear this part but keep in mind it’s her gun and she wanted it this way, in way so did I. So we decided to Dura-coat the cylinder Raven Purple and the frame matte black. I also plan on backing filling the Dept.of Correction logo with a gold stick.
Should be ready in a week or so and what I am looking for is a set of white or pink lightly pearlized or solid grips that can be laser engraved with the Ravens bird head logo and the teams name, any suggestions were to get these grips and who could do the laser work, hopefully the same person or company? when I get it back from the gunsmith I will post pictures.
