tac,
In Texas and the southwest of the uSA generally, folks are inclined to wear a gun as a part of their daily working gear, especially farmers, ranchers, etc. When there is a social event, such as a bar-b-que, they like to dress up a bit and still wear their side arm, but prefer a piece with a bit more visual pzazz. Consequently there is a market for finely engraved and inlaid pieces such as this. They have become known as Bar-B-Que guns for their frequent appearance at such events.
