I am no big fan of lots of gold wire and, certainly not of stag for stocks, but I find I keep looking at this...
That thing is just totally off the chart!

Doc, does it have a block to prevent the cylinder from being turned? Looks like it.-Dick
OP
Dick...The only "block" is my strength of will not to dry fire this 44 Magnum. However, that is not too hard as I have several others that I can dry fire or live fire at my convenience

Going through some old posts and found this amazing example of artisanship in steel and gold. This is certainly worth pushing to the top of the posting pile for everyone's enjoyment. Phenomenal revolver and photography Doc. Thank-you.
Not very often do we get to "double Like" Bill's, posts, but because this is one of the pre-forum-conversion-posts we get that opportunity here.
I love the Alvin White engraved guns. They are beautiful to behold in person or in photos.
Thanks for sharing - even if it was over 10 years ago...

Yup, whenever you see "Doc44" opening a thread you might as well get the like button warmed up. It'll be needed. Until I started reading this forum I had no idea such a fabulous collection of S&W 44s could even exist.
There are some folks with nice collections of "small caliber" models (.357s), too.
A very beautiful engraving. And yes, when Doc44 posts pics, even 10 1/2 years later, they are some of the best.

44 Magnum shipped in February 1957 and later engraved and inlaid with gold by Alvin White (who also made the stocks made of stag). Mr. White did a lot of work for S&W and was the principal of Alvin White Engravers (early 60s to early mid-70s).
Mr. White's gold inlay of animals is the best done by an american engraver.

That there is very special.

I've never seen anything as fine as the inlaid animals. The whole gun is a masterpiece, but the animals are perfection. What a genius!

What a beauty! And the stags are a perfect fit for it.
