Only Six Months Until the Next Symposium

[22hipower]

Mid June, in Tulsa. Still plenty of time to join the SWCA and arrange to attend if you're not already a member. You'll see some treasures there you likely won't see anywhere else and meet some great folks. . . .who just might part with some of their treasures if you're lucky.

This engraved 29-2 from 1974 was at our last Symposium and RKmesa was kind enough to part with it. Which likely makes it one of the rarest of engraved S&Ws. Rare because Lance Kelly engraved it? Perhaps, I've not seen any others by him, but no, rare because it was part of RKmesa's fabulous collection and once in, not many of those go elsewhere. Thanks much Richard.

Oh, and the Pelson case, which just happened to fit it, was acquired at the Symposium too.

If anyone has more pieces by Lance Kelly I'd love to see them.

Hope to see many of you in June in Tulsa.

Gorgeous revolver!

Glendale was my first symposium, and I had an awesome time. I hope to make Tulsa, Lord willing and the creek don't rise

The symposium sure was fun and I have made more friends each year going.

Very cool gun. Does the engraving end at the magna lines or does it extend through the frame?

Amazing revolver, thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to attending the symposium for the first time next year and meeting fellow members.

Great guns, and even better people are found at the annual S&WCA Symposiums. Jeff, that really is a beautiful 44 Magnum and I'm glad it found a place in your wonderful collection.
