A couple months ago my wife asked what I wanted for our 10th anniversary, since we couldn't take the trip we wanted to due to COVID, we decided to splurge on our gifts to each other. My first thought was to have a couple more of my guns engraved but there's no way it'd be done in time. I remembered seeing these on Gunbroker and decided to go this route instead. It's a new factory engraved Schofield .45Colt from Taylor's. Real hand engraving, not lasered. I really like Uberti's faux mother of pearl grips. Patton be damned! Also experimenting with the photography trying to get the grips to not wash out. I still have some work to do. This one was done in the shop with diffuse lighting.  I manipulated this one on the camera and then with Photoshop to adjust the exposure.  This makes my fourth Uberti S&W replica.  |

Beautiful guns. I don't have to be convinced about Uberti Quality. I'll eventually add one of those...
Congratulations!!!

I have developed an interest in the replicas of late, had no idea they had factory engraved models.

Craig, ain’tcha feeling just a little bit like a New Orleans pimp ? ;-) Nice looking pistola BTW ! More and more every day!  I have developed an interest in the replicas of late, had no idea they had factory engraved models. I didn't either until I found these. They also had nickel versions. Really Nice! Can't wait to see what you'll get for your 25th Anniversary Me too! We survived the COVID lockdowns without killing each other, we ought to make it.  |

My family visited for July 4th and while my brother was showing me how the camera settings worked, Dad snapped a few with his phone. Dad's iPhone 11Pro just takes a better picture. I barely had to touch this one. I reckon I need a new phone.  |

I've got a pair of floral carved holsters for the S&W's from Skillet Creek. One for the Schofield/Russian and another with an extra inch for the American.  I'll probably make another pair as well. That's what I was doing with this one but screwed up the right hand so I just put the left on Etsy. I think it went to London.  |
