I am not a fan of jeweling hammers either. I don't mind it on bolt action rifle bolts though.

Just curious … what’s the attraction of the jeweled hammers and triggers on FA revolvers? Personally, I am not a fan of the look on an otherwise elegantly simple revolver. What am I missing? To be different, have another option to choose from. I have 5 FAs in total, none are jeweled. The 6th one I just ordered has the hammer jeweled and the trigger polished. It looks good to me on other guns but nothing I needed to have before, this time around I wanted those options just to be different, either way it is a beautiful gun. Show it to you in 7 months.

Correct. Perhaps the only way to shoot a jeweled hammer is too wear welding goggles. Jeweling belongs on CLOCKWORK, not LOCKwork. I’ll have have jeweling when I put pearl grips on an axe. David Bradshaw

I will say my FA that has the jeweling has the smoothest action of all my FA revolvers. Most of mine have the action job done but this one is far smoother than the rest . It was second hand so I'm not sure if there was other work done or not. It may just be coincidence.

I like jeweling & appreciate the skill required to precisely align those swirls.

Well, the votes are in and unless my reading comprehension is off, the vast majority thinks that jeweling on a single action is like pearl grips……something only a New Orleans pimp would do. Personally, I have no jeweling, and no hankering to have any………

Kinda like it but still don't and won't own any jeweled hammered piece.

GENUINE MOTHER OF PEARL GRIPS GET A BAD RAP, THEY ARE USUALLY DENSE (HEAVY), SCARCE AND VERY NICE LOOKING, AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO WEAR THEM TO A HIGH DOLLAR BBQ. THEIR DOWNSIDE TO FIELD CARRY IS THAT THEY ARE BRITTLE AND PRONE TO CHIP, etc.

MOP grips were quite popular in the late 19th & early 20th Century, long before they were unfairly derided by a famous US General & suddenly became misunderstood, shunned & undesirable...Personally, I like them myself, a lot more than jeweled hammers anyway! 😁

I don't know, I kinda like the jeweling, but 2 things, 1- I don't own any that are done 2- never seen one in real life, so, maybe I wouldn't like it if I actually seen it, not sending anything off to have it done. I agree with the comment with bolt action rifles though, do have a Savage 270 with jeweled bolt that I think looks really good.

I see the the head on a Type 41 Bugatti....... Depends if it is done well......patterened and uniform. Easy to jewel.....easy to jewel poorly....... I love fine watches from the makers point of view. Must be done well and tastefully. I’ll put it inside a gun.......
