Detailed images of the Jerred engraved single sixes?

[twriggen]

Does anyone have any detailed pictures of the Jerred engraved early Single Sixes, specifically the style similar to serial number 100087? I have an old custom 44 flat top that I would like to have engraved in a similar pattern/design. The best picture I could find is from the American Rifleman article but was hoping to find something a little better to show the craftsman doing the carving on it.

Here's the image from the magazine.

Thanks,
Troy

Yow! Real, old-school engraving; not the "electro-etch" stuff we see today. :shock: :mrgreen:

It's been at the same smith for almost three years and he hasn't started on putting it together yet, although he advised its getting closer to the top of the pile. I have the engraver lined up and based on the pictures I received from Mike he's confident he can get a similar look. I just need the smith to get some fitting done before the parts go to the engraver. It will be a 45 Colt 4 5/8 flattop with its done.
