[QUOTE="LarryM, post: 3825800, member: 50287"] Ruger Black Hawk 44Mag. Years ago I had a top Master engraver do some engraving on a pistol I had, I wanted to be able to use it and not show any wear, he told me that he would have it Nickel plated and would not show any wear from packing it while hunting, I was worried it would take away from the engraving and he told me it would add to the engraving. The engravers name was Charlie Price, he has sense passed away several years ago, he did the commemorative pistols for John Wayne when he did the movie The Alamo. Charlie was booked up for several years when he did mine and he got it done in 8 months, Charlie liked beer and I was a Beer Distributor so we become good friends, he said one time Jackie Gleason called him from the airport in San Antone, Tx and asked him to come to the air port and pick him up and do some work for him, Charlie told him he was booked up for the next five years and wouldn't come and pick him up, that was the kind of guy Charlie was. On the Cylinder it looks like the engraving was stamped on, I watched him a couple of times and he only used a little hammer and chisel. Just thought I would add a little to the Engraving, most all is done by machine anymore! Larry M [/QUOTE]
