‘Cowboys and Indians’…aka Engraving meets the Wild West

[gr8smiles]

I had a wonderful weekend at the Tulsa Gun show and drove back from Tulsa to Nashville in the rain with a couple very special guns in tow. Loved meeting new friends and seeing old ones (not literally lol)
I was very fortunate to become the new owner of this exquisite piece of Smith and Wesson lore.
Here are a few pics I did this am ….enjoy
Model 29-5, Classic DX with custom factory engraving by John Pease. It was shipped on March 17, 1992. My late father's birthday.

Congratulations one a beautiful addition to the Family

There is a lot of engraving and Gold inlay on that Model 29

I LOVE the front sight

Wow, four elevation bars on the front sight! What are they ranged for?

All I can say is WOW.

I'd have to name it Pontiac Chieftain--front sight: 1950s hood ornament.

It's a wee bit gaudy for me, and I can sure appreciate the details.

Just a little over the top.

John Pease, gifted craftsman

We, as S&WCA Members have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet Mr. Pease in person at several of our annual gatherings, now called Symposiums. Not only is he very talented he is also a very nice person. Not sure if he is still employed by S&W or one of their competitors but he does great work, congratulations on the acquisition.

Didn't see your post until today, love the gun, especially the inlays. Talk about 100% coverage, that one sure has it. I didn't think Bob would ever turn this one loose.

That has to be one of the most intricately covered pieces ever presented here. The grips!

It's a story, on a gun!
