Is that laser engraved or hand engraved? I can't tell on my phone, while I don't have a Uberti I am told that although they are not a USFA they make pretty good shooters. That one is pretty darn good looking...

I would be perfectly happy with JUST a Uberti such as this!

Boge, who did the engraving on this one? I've got a pretty good idea, but just curious...if it's who I think, I'm pretty excited! I might be posting an "it's just a large-frame Vaquero" thread in a couple of months

Lucky for you (and unlucky for me) that you saw that one before I did Boge. I would've bought that one in a heart beat. Congratulations on a nice looking shooter. Hope it performs as well as it looks.

One of my favorite revolvers is a Uberti Callahan. Some of the finest fitting and best tolerances I have ever seen.

That one is pretty darn good looking... Fowler, it's hand engraved. They were offered that way from the factory. Boge, who did the engraving on this one? I've got a pretty good idea, but just curious...if it's who I think, I'm pretty excited! I might be posting an "it's just a large-frame Vaquero" thread in a couple of months Jamey, I don't know who did the engraving, but I'd like to have any info you can offer.

....man, this is a BEEYOOTEEFUL sixgun! Picked it up on Tuesday – fully-engraved 44 Special, CCH and fire blue. The CCH is really neat-looking, almost like antique gold, and I LOVE fire bluing! Doesn’t even need new stocks - these are beautiful, nice and slim, and perfectly fitted. The sixgun looks to be unfired, but I expect to fix that this afternoon. Anyway – it’s "JUST" an Uberti, but I got it for a tenth of what an engraved Colt would cost, so I’m tickled to death with it! And as a bonus, I picked up a NICE old Charter Target Bulldog 44 Special (4” barrel & adjustable sights) and a 6” H&R Sportsman at the same time. It was a GOOD day.

I saw that revolver up for sale too. You got a hell of a good deal on that one. Good thing you're quick on the mouse cause that wasn't gonna be up long! Nice revolver and great pictures as always!

Close ups are very unforgiving, and the engraving looks great in the closeups. Many years ago, an article on engraving by R. L. Wilson in a G & A Annual had this tip on judging engraving quality. Our paper money is printed on hand engraved plates. Look at a $ bill and compare the smoothness of curves, etc., to that on the engraving being judged. If it is not as clean and smooth as the dollar bill, find a better one to spend your money on. Your Uberti passes that test.
