As plum as they come!

This is fantastic! Very unique. The frame reminds me of my old High Standard HD Military. What caliber is it ?

Actually it's 44 caliber … unusual for the times. Most similar pistols were either 40 or 45.

Very nice.

You think your .22 and the .357 shown is by the same Engraver? Look closely.

That's some pretty nice plum.

My wife gave me a Finnish Valmet "Leijona" (Lion) 12 guage O/U back in 1987 after I'd sold all my nice shotguns to help finance a new house a couple of years before (she knew I loved Valmets, and had cashed in a couple).

As well as having the most beautiful red/black walnut of any of my factory guns except my Ruger 1A .243, it started to "go plum" a couple of years after I got it. By now it has fully ripened to the shade of a perfectly ripe Santa Rosa plum. Delicious--wish I were smart enough to show a pic!
