Description:

Manufactured in 1980 and subsequently masterfully embellished by Master Engraver Barry Lee Hands. Hands is known as one of the top contemporary engravers in the world, has worked with companies like Colt, Winchester, and Ithaca, and currently serves as the president of the Firearm Engravers Guild of America. The revolver shows masterfully executed class "C" coverage floral scroll engraving and numerous gold inlays including "Lady Luck" on the thumbrest, a pair of scales on the right of the frame, crossed Model 95 Remington derringers on the ejector shield, and bands at the rear of the cylinder, breech, and muzzle. The engraving is signed discreetly on the butt. The grips were carved by Charlie Kruder with borders and checkering with a spade in the center of the checkering field. Includes an matching extra cylinder in .44 Special, a glass top display case, and a Barry Lee Hands Engraving certificate of authenticity.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall as masterfully embellished, retains 99% plus original royal blue and casehardened finishes with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering overall on the slightly ill-fitting grips. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine with some minor handling/storage marks and loose glass.
