This Registered Magnum is one of only 1,518 manufactured with a 6 1/2 inch barrel and is highly decorated. The period embellishments by famous San Francisco Bay Area engraver, Orville Kuhl, include dozens of inlaid flowers throughout the gun, a descending bird of prey on the left of the frame, and a cowboy riding a bucking bronco on the right all inlaid in multiple different tones of gold. The beautiful floral scroll engraving, which is cut through the blue, between the flutes on the cylinder and areas throughout with geometric and line borders surrounding most of the work. The period custom target grips are carved with floral designs. Registration number "REG 4817" marked on the frame opposite the crane. The serial numbers match on the barrel, cylinder, and butt.

Very fine as professionally embellished, retaining nearly all of the blue that was not cut through during engraving. Areas of light scratches with some darkening in the otherwise bright engraving. 99% of the gold inlay remains. The rear sight has been broken off and the front sight has been filed. The right grip has been repaired along the back and are otherwise very good. Mechanically excellent. An excellent Orville Kuhl decorated Registered Magnum! Provenance: Dr. Gerald Klaz collection.
