That looks great all together Runar.  Thanks for your kind words.
Runar sent me a 12 page file of photos of the original pistol showing well the parts and their engraving.  I duplicated the original as closely as I could, not trying to improve design or execution anywhere.  And several of the parts are of iron rather than steel...the barrel for example.  My first time engraving iron - it is super soft and cuts like hard cheese.  All in all, it was a fun project, and I concur - it needed the engraving to finish it off properly.  Happy work!

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