Very nice! I have four Gallagher-worked Rugers, but foolishly sold the only one I had with the Gallagher Custom stamp on the top strap It was a SS .44 mag 4 5/8" with stag grip panels. Dumb, I was.

The only Gallagher I own is a reworked 357 Maximum. Never questioned the value, will leave that for my heirs...
