That is just beautiful!!!!! Great looking gun.

Operator, that is a beautiful job. Michael did two for me, a KP97DC and KP345. He does great work. Sure gives them a personal touch. I'm sure you will enjoy it, and have something beautiful to pass on to Children or Grandchildren.

That is a work of art at it's best. That is a very beautiful Revolver.

Absolutely Gorgeous!! What was the turn-around time?

operator · August 31st, 2006, 04:27 PM

Ad said turn around time would be 10/12 weeks, it was actually 22 weeks before I got it back. I think the wait was worth it!!Thanks

Do you shoot it? [:0]

Would it offend you to ask how much it was?

I would love to have that done to the Vaquero I just bought!

I saw this Sp101 on-line and thought it was pretty cool but not as cool as that!!

Gentlemen, Pistol was purchased by engraver from his Distributor for around $430.00 shipped to him. The engraving was 3/4 coverage @ $450.00 + $45.00 S&H to my dealer. The grips were made by Cary Chapman and were $120/125 range. Cary posts on the other Forum, and I promise you will satisfied if you purchase grips from him. Fit and finish are perfect!!! And NO I don't mind talking about my experiance with getting one engraved. It is a lot of $MONEY, and I thought this is going to be a one time deal. Sure would like to have a SS Springfield Armory 1911 done next!!!!
