I would love to hear more when you get the letter. Please post about it.

How many hours did that beauty take? Wow!

Wow is the right word. I honestly have no idea how long it took Pedersoli to engrave this gun. I know that it was not quick. The layout alone would have taken a significant effort... and then to cut with such precision... it kind of blows the mind.

Here are a couple of photos of him sitting in his studio, cutting away...





I would have loved to watch him work! Unfortunately, he passed away of a heart attack in 2021. A huge loss for the engraving community.

Who in their right mind would carry that? Liberace?

I can see him at his piano dressed to the nines, with that 22 strapped to his side...

Its kind of neat to see something that nice that's been used like its supposed to be.

My thoughts are that it was probably used in some kind of competitive shooting and the wear is from that??? I wish I knew.
