66 , Pre 24, 25-2s

66-Polished TH, smoothed and polished TT, RR,WO, well matched GA grips with silver inlays by Don Brown of Yakima. I bought it new, and it will be one of the last to go. A tack driver to boot. I have packed it a lot over the years.

Pre 24-Bright blue TH, TT, factory original non-relieved Rosewood grips. One of my favorites.

25-2s-Consecutive pair with extensive work by T. Freyburger, Elephant Ivory grips. Two more members of the favorites group.

Non-wood smoothies also Welcome here!

I know this thread is for smooth wood grips, but there are a few nice pictures of non checkered composite or pearl grips. So I thought I would post a pic of my M36-0 with Collins Craft Black Corian grips and Tyler T.

When I started this thread I didn't realize how many smooth grips out there were made of materials other than wood! Alternative smoothies are welcome too!

I don't think I've seen any Kurac's yet. Here's a 25-5 and a 4" 24-3 wearing Cocobola and Claro Walnut.

Model 629 engraved and inlaid with gold by S&W's Master Engraver, Wayne D'Angelo, in 2001. The revolver is fitted with stocks by Nill and they are made of Amboyna Burl. The 629 shipped from the factory with the same type of stocks, but made of figured walnut. I ordered these from Nill and it took about six months to get them.

Smooth stocks made of Goncalo alves on a 44 Magnum with a factory 5-inch barrel and Class A-engraving that was shipped in September 1957.

I challenge anyone who doesn't believe a S&W, or any gun for that matter, isn't a work of art, take a look at these two! The only word that comes to mind is stunning! And then, beautiful! Thanks for sharing Bill!

For some reason, I just looked through this thread. I'm sure glad I did! Y'all have some absolutely beautiful pieces, both guns and stocks! And the photography is outstanding! Can you imagine a coffee table book of forum members collections? Even those who might not have a "quantity" collection, you sure do have quality ones! Excuse me while I get a tissue and bib.
