I can just about imagine what that beautiful piece must have cost in Dog Dollars.

Well done

I can still afford to feed the dog so all good.

Beautiful gun...

That gold fill must have taken forever. It is truly a work of art. The only thing that I don't get is the gold wash on the hammer and trigger, they spent a lot of time and effort everywhere else, but the hammer and trigger get a wash treatment....maybe I am missing something? or is the light playing tricks on my eyes?

Yes, it is a wash for some reason.

Chris,

It is a great piece regardless. I would be proud to own it (and then promptly case color the hammer & trigger).

Thanks for taking the time to post the full-size pics, you could always start an album here on the forum to reduce reliance on 3rd party sites.

Take care.

Thanks, Scott.


Down the road I will set up some albums.


Good thought on the case hardening.


Have to consider that!

When I see a smith engraved like that, I wish I studied that instead of Automotive Technology. It only took me 40 years to be very good at that.
