Manufactured in 1928. The included Adams & Adams engraving certificate confirms the serial number, caliber, barrel, "black nickel" finish, Class C engraving, grips, and that the engraving was performed in 2008. Fixed blade front and round top notch rear sights and standard markings on the frame and slide. The pistol features 75% plus coverage in fine leafy scroll with shaded backgrounds and large floral blooms. The top rear of the slide is signed "J. ADAMS". With a custom fitted hardwood case.

Very fine overall as master embellished by John Adams Sr. 99% custom black nickel finish remains with sharp engraving, scattered light handling marks and some very small dings on the grips. Mechanically excellent. Case is excellent.
