Second Crown Jewel

I get depressed thinking about what happens to stunning art like this when you die. I have a daughter that is clueless and a wife that doesn't like firearms. Collecting books and pictures suffices as a result. Damn these are nice though. Try not to worry about who gets them when you kick though. I crack myself up sometimes, sorry I can't help it.

I've never seen anything done that exquisitely. I saw some pretty nice engraved and inlaid presentation pistols at the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum in Los Angeles a few years ago, but I can't remember anything that detailed!

I'm unable to open/enlarge the thumb nails at the bottom of your post.

Tom,

Fantastic piece. Known history and all. Beautiful pistol and those grip panels are....aahhh I don't have the words.

Would'nt it have been fun to have met the craftsman who created this work.

I'm happy for you Tom, nice catch!!

Hate sounding like a broken record, broken record, broken record...

Is anyone else having the same trouble that I have trying to open the small "thumb-nails" located below the bottom of that large photo?

They're labeled "Attached Images."

I sure would like to see them in greater detail.

Thanks in advance,

Dave in Nashville
