It is possible it was one of the between pistols, S&W made a very few that really have no name that anyone can find. Good luck.

My wheelguns:
.22 magnum North American Arms Pug w/ tritium front sight
2 1/2" .410/.45LC Taurus Judge

The pug goes with me everywhere & I carry either my 1911 or Makarov most of the time as well. I'm getting quite fond of the Judge, but it's a bit bulky as I carry SOB with my primary.

Ya my interests never went into the history of modern (post1950's) guns, so I didn't know the dates on this bit WW 1&2 battle rifles and muzzleloaders... different story

Nice combo!

I couldnt agree more,one well placed shot. Take your time in a hurry.

Here is mine. Smith L frame int 357 mag. I engraved this about 15 years ago.

This one is actually what I deer hunt with sometimes. I am pushing 125gr hornady XTPs about 1900 fps out of this using 19 gr of H110. Its a hot load for this but it doesn't push the primer pockets or slit cases.

That is some gorgeous engraving.

Thanks Bharner,

Here is another one I did about 5 years ago. Its not mine it belongs to a customer. This gun actually a little over the top for my personal taste but its what the customer wanted. so I went whole hog on it.

I'll second that on the engraving. Most of the engraving I've seen is gaudy and overdone. This looks really nice.

You do engraving yourself? Can you do a razor?
