Trick or Treat!?!
44 Magnum, S153155, Class A-engraved (most likely) by Virginia Le Blanc and shipped on Halloween, October 31, 1956. This revolver is one of approximately five known with a 5-screw frame and nickel finish and the only one that is factory engraved. It is also one of the earliest 44 Magnums to be Class A-engraved and shipped to a distributor.

Trick or Treat...

If that is what you are handing out at your house for treats, I'm buying my plane ticket today and will see you on the 31st.

Doc, just curious, do you also have shooter guns you use? The guns you show us, I could never bring myself to shoot one of them. Thanx again for sharing the pics you post. Id never see guns of this caliber any where else.

Mule 88...I have a collection of shooters ranging in caliber from .17 HMR to 45 Colt. I belong to a range that is about ten minutes from my house that I visit frequently. It has four handgun ranges and two rifle ranges.

I'm with Mule88, Bill just once in a while could you show us a gun with some rust flakes on it, heck I will settle for dust flakes. Just something that allows the rest of us time to wipe the drool off our keyboards between your other photos.
PS: Where did you get that neat prop rod? I think that I like that one even better than the all blue ones.

Trick or Treat
Not even close to a Trick, Treat all the way. Nothing but the finest revolvers have I seen from your posts Doc. Always a Treat to see what you have in store for us, thanks Doc.
