S&W Centennial
Got another Bar-B-Q gun and did some "enhancement". This is a S&W Centennial "pre mdl 40" serial No. 147 made in 1952. Engraving on blued guns doesn't show up as well as it does on nickel plated guns, so I "helped" it some. I used a Bonanza Silver Enlay Kit from Brownells, and filled in the engraving with silver inlay. They also have a Gold Inlay Kit. Here are before & after pics.

I think I like em nickled better if engraved, but that gives it a nice effect Hugh.

I really like Centennials. I am on the fence whether I prefer the "before" or "after" version but I think I am leaning toward the "after"! But now that you have added lipstick and mascara, I think it needs something for it's "butt", like maybe an ivory or exotic wood corset.
