Stunning!
Now it needs a Huey case, Gouse engraved SS knife and carved Barranti holster and sheath.

I've had the privilege of being able to gawk over this gun at my kitchen table. The engraving is something to behold. The closer you look at it the more you see. There are small engravings with no darkening that glisten in the sun like little diamonds. It's perfect.

Near as I can tell, the sunburst pattern on the loading gate/recoil shield can be attributed to late 19th century Colt master engraver Cuno Helfricht. It's my favorite style for engraving that area and I've had both mine done that way. Probably the next too!
