I had been back & forth with Dave Clements on engraving the thinner than normal walled cylinder on this custom, & his advice was relayed on to Michael Gouse who engraved the gun... I got an e-mail earlier this week, & Mike thought it would be done by the end of this week, so payment is going out today... I'm anxious as the engraving needs to look good ( no redoing it ) Mike says it looks great, & the cylinder was only engraved on thicker parts, as per Dave's suggestions... I'm hoping to have some teaser pictures this week... my Alaskan Dall horn grips are on their way here for the 1st custom project this year ( the case colored 22 CCM Single Six ) , & the engraved gun on the 10mm Rimmed GP 2nd projectis on it's way home... both custom projects finished in 2019... these two were my 1st bigger name custom builds... after my retired tool & die buddy had aged enough, that he quit working on anything... what's up for me in 2020??? I'm hoping to get a 45-70 revolver out of the BFR custom shop as a companion gun to my Marlin Guide Gun

So I sent payment out yesterday for the engraving... the gun is not quite done yet... I asked for a teaser pic & received this one... think the cylinder is still being worked on, & may be inked darker, to better match the other engraving... but I think it looks pretty good so far... I'm after about 50% coverage, so it doesn't get too busy... this picture better shows the orange fiber optic ( which I prefer for front sights over the green ) Dave Clements remachines the shortened barrels to use the factory changeable GP-100 sights, so changing them out is as easy as pushing in the indent at the front of the barrel

Looks like a really nice combination to me. You seem to have a really well developed sense of style. I have been very impressed with many of the handguns you have posted.
