Custom engraver

Does anyone know anything about an engraver named Charles Wheat? I have a very nice 629-1 done by him but I can’t find any info about him on line. Thanks. Bill

Nice. Not to "busy" and traditional. I would be thrilled to just have those gorgeous stocks

Keith Brown custom stocks, he makes the best around.

Charley Wheat lived & had a shop in Montana,,Hamilton I think (I don't know the area out there at all,).
He was well known for his silversmithing and engraving on it, but did firearms engraving as well. He'd engrave about anything brought to him.

He died somewhere around 2005 or 06,,sorry I can't be more specific.

Great looking revolver..

Nice engraved gun, i love the less than total coverage, it add class in my opinion and the stocks are out of this world.

It turns out I also have a model 657 stainless 3” engraved by the same gentleman, Charles Wheat, in essentially the same pattern.

You already had one of his guns and didn't know it?

It’s been a safe queen for quite some time and I had forgotten all about it until just after I posted the request for info. I’ve since decided to sell all of my engraved guns and when I got them all out I rediscovered the 657.
