Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Bizarre pistol, but nice engraving.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

The best part about that pistol is the engraved presentation on the butt.

Pins holding the inscription plate onto bottom of butt look new to me, and original pin holes look somewhat larger than these round heads. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a reused inscription plate on a later "clunky" pistol. Shelby Gallien

In contrast to the bulk of the pistol. it seems that nicely engraved butt cap would have cost more than the entirety of the rest.
