Picked this OM .44 special up a while back as a shop sample from BCA. It was already set up just about the way I would have had it built. It went off to SK grips fro some mammoth ivory grips that came out quite nicely. I've never had Scott do grips for me before but they're very nice and a good value. Roy talked about the "checkerboard" pattern on good ivory....     |

I’m intrigued by the hammer texturing. Almost a golf-ball style done with what I’d guess to be a small ball end mill. Very cool. Not that I’d ever steal that idea or anything…

WOW! What I WISH mine looked like.
Perfect set of conservative tweaks by someone with exquisite taste.

Are you saying my eyeballs are deceiving me? That’s checkered? |

Not trying to derail, just find this interesting. It’s a gorgeous gun.  |

Great gun! Need to find myself one of those in 45 colt one of these days. I think it was Bowen that told me several years back that the "checkering" on the powers hammers was done with a ball endmill rather than checkering file. Made sense since the bottom of the checkering was round rather than V shaped.
