Originally manufactured in 1973 and subsequently masterfully engraved by Bill Johns, located in Cody, Wyoming, who signed his work with his signature "BJ" stamp in front of the trigger guard. The embellishment features flourishes of floral scroll on the barrel, cylinder, trigger guard, and back strap, and gold inlaid bands at the muzzle, breech, and rear of the cylinder. There is a cattle brand type heart over "U" gold inlaid on the back strap. Includes a Murray Leather Co. leather soft case.

Very fine as masterfully embellished, retains 97% plus of the refinished blue and case colors with the left side of muzzle a smooth grey patina, and a light cylinder drag line. The grips are also very fine with some light dings and scratches, a small chip in the bottom edge (right panel), and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
