Re: engraved colt by mike dubbler
Thanks for posting the Colt Sheriff's Model for me Ron. I'll have this piece at the Colt Collectors Association show in Reno in October. It was done for a client who wanted a gambling theme. The opposite side has a pair of raised platinum dice on the loading gate and a gold/platinum Joker on the panel. The ivories were done by Jim Aliamo, Turnbull did the bluing and Reliable did the gold plating. It will be shown in a custom walnut case with gambling accountrements.
The client wanted me to create a scroll that inlcuded leaf and vine details - the resulting mix of scrolls and leaves was a challenge. You might notice the small berries I worked into the mix.
