S&W model 60 engraved

[moosedog]

I just bought this gun on Tuesday. It was purchased from the family of Jack Roy who was mentor to me in the early 1970s and had a gun shop in Hamtramck Michigan.
Jack sent it to Japan for engraving which was the thing to do back then as off shore labor was talented while rather inexpensive.

A handsome Chiefs Special, and more importantly, a wonderful memento to remind you of your younger years.

Great engraving and some local history to boot!

I don't know what you paid, but it sure would have caught my attention.

Jack's shop was in the basement of his house. It was quite a place. Guns were stored all over his basement.
His glass display case was a place of a very clever security piece. In the front of the case was a double barreled shotgun with the muzzle pointing towards the base of the stairs.
A 'bad guy' might be severely affected trying to go up the steps!
The 'pull cord' to the triggers was very cleverly hidden at the back of the case housing the shotgun!

"sent to Japan". Think of how heads would roll today.

What a lovely little piece! I had a gun once which had been sent to Japan to be engraved, they did lovely work on that and on yours.
