Hi Everyone I am new to this forum. I came across a beautiful Blackhawk 357 with what I believe is level four engraving and it has gold inlay and gold plated screws, hammer and trigger, highly polished. What I am trying to find out is who did this engraving. I sent a letter with the serial number to Sturm Ruger and was less then pleased with there response. All they told me was that it was originally shipped from the factory as a model BKH34 in November 1969. Never mentioned where it was shipped to, if the gun was blued or highly polished like it is now, no barrel length nothing else.
Anyway, I have removed the grips and found initials in what appears to be pencil (Initials are CH on the right grip and #826 in black magic marker on the left grip). I will try and attach pictures of it. I hope someone may recognize this work please let me know.
Thanks
