Wow. I'd be afraid to shoot it. Ok, not really bit it would make the rest of my guns feel bad. It does, in a nostalgic way, remind me of the Hopalong Cassidy (maybe Lone Ranger, it was a long time ago) capguns I had. Fancy engraved pot metal with white grips. I was the long of the capgun fights and cops and robbers till my best friend's dad got him a capgun that looked like a 92fs...

Hey Joe, I make my living as an engraver. Engraving a razor that has already been heat treated would not be a good idea. Once the steel is in the mid 60s rockwell its a bit too late to engrave them. That needs to be done pre heat treat. I am playing with the idea of making a razor and you can bet if I do Mine will be engraved.

You would supprised how many of my customers actually shoot thier engraved guns. It really doesn't hurt anything to shoot them as long as you use regular cleaning and maintanance on it when your done. That should be done to a gun anyway engraved or not.

Man, you do some nice work,there beautiful

Ray,
Your engraving is spectacular! The Colt is over the top. Is the long barreled Smith a 586, by any chance?

Thanks for the kind words. It is a 586. She has ben a great shooter over the years.

Here is some of my gear, I have always been keenest on black powder, the Smith I have had since I was 21 and shoot service regularly. The Dragoon I bought at a gun show in Rock Springs Wyoming on a trip over to the States years ago, a very good shooter.

That is quite the fireworks display. I like!!!
