Spectacularly engraved by John Warren and signed on lower left side of bbl, with extremely well-executed, full coverage, foliate arabesque patterns on frame with feather patterns on top strap. Engraving extends 2-1/2” up bbl and 1-7/8” at the muzzle. Sides of hammer have matching patterns with the backstrap & butt strap having full coverage with matching patterns on triggerguard & ejector rod housing. The serial number is also found on right side of triggerguard & backstrap, under the grip, and there is an assembly number “123B” on left side of the triggerguard & backstrap under the grip, which number is also found on the front of the 44-40 cyl.

Top of backstrap has a raised gold wire shield with raised gold initials “MP” connected.

All in all, a special & spectacular engraved single action. CONDITION: Very fine plus. Appears to be unfired since engraving, retains all of its bright custom blue & case colored finish. Grips are extremely fine with hairlines on both bottom edges and retain a fine, mellow, ivory patina. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore.
