Oooooooooh, Ahhhhhh. I like. I would love to learn how to do this. I did a lot of metal-smithing in college and really enjoyed it. How long did this masterpiece take you?

 

[badguybuster]

I wish. I am just the financier and dreamer.
The work was done by Howard Barnett, not to shabby eh? Better yet, he is very reasonable with the prices. This is stage 2 in my project.

 

[Major Pain]

Well, he's doing better than I could.--MP

Super nice job. So what does the next stage involve? More engraving, porting?

I am not sure yet. I may have more engraving done, it is 70% now, I may go all the way to 100%. Also, the guys at cylinder and slide have stated they could manufacture a light rail for it. It might be neat to see, who knows.

Just in case anyone has the inclination, Emporia State University, in Emporia, Kansas, is the only 4 year college in the nation that has a degree program for metal engraving. Most of the graduates go to work for the U.S. Bureau of Engraving making plates for our currency.

I really like it, is that a 686 SSR?

 

[roundgunner]

oops never mind, I see the 8 holey thingies.

 

[badguybuster]

It is a 627-5. I am thinking of sending it to "Falcon Coating" and have it coated with their Extreme Coating in Blue Titanium.

I imagine he will be smoothing out the speckling?

To tell you the truth,Thats not engraving...It's stippling.Honestly you have ruined a nice revolver.I think it belongs in this thread.

If you ever decide you don’t like it anymore I promise to give it a good home and take it out for walks and everything. Pleeese…Pleeeeeeeese.
