Alvin White - Black Moon

[A10]

Mr. White was truly a master of his trade. I really don't care for gold on guns, but he used the material in such an artistic way it gives life to his figures and truly turns these fine firearms into works of art. They exude taste and refinement.

Both are amazing works of art,I've never seen the moon included before. Are there more AAW guns with it?

This is one of Bill's... with a moon:

Then there is the William Sweet Model 19 - See photos here:

Those grips! I love the flair. Extremely unique. A match made in engravers' minds found each other. Wow.

I may need a daily dose of this thread.
