Thanks again, Gentlemen, for your support and kind words. While the purchase of such a firearm is not a casual thing, in this case, it was a bit "easier". As you may recall back down the trail, I was fortunate, or foresighted enough, to purchase an engraved BKH36 OM from my Dear Old Friend, Ruger Forum member Johnnu. That gun was the first gun engraved by nationally acclaimed engraver John Kudlas. That gun and the one from James DeMunck, do make a striking couple at the Hawkeye Girls' Ball, hosted by the RSSE's....... 8)

I softly asked about a pairing for a 7 1/2", if I supplied the "donor"..........He quietly deferred "for now" 8) . Very happy I was able to secure this firearm. :wink: Thanks again for all your positive comments and observations.
Every once in a while, it seems OK to replay a significant event. Being that I just found another engraved Blackhawk(See BarB Q gun in the Auctions section) I felt newer members might like to see this one from last year...Still give me the shivers......... 8) :wink:
Just a rerun of a fine gun from last year.I was reminded when the engraved 357 convertible noted in the auction section (BarB Q gun) arrived y'day. Enjoy! 8)

That is a DANDY! Wow!
Thanks, Pete. As a new member, you and other recent members don't always go to searches in our forum archives, so as noted, I thought I'd "share" once again. Yes, it is one heckofa fine engraved Blackhawk......... 8)

I remember this original posting. To say it was stunning is an understatement. I'm not a huge fan of engraved guns for myself,, but I do admire excellent works of art like this.
Thanks for the re-run!

What a great piece of work, and you're a justifiably proud owner, the only thing better would be if it were all factory original.

This a beautiful gun!
Frankly, I fuss about Tulsa and staying home, not driving 975 miles each way, alone. But..........I go to the steel box and this marvel is still there. Sometimes, a Guy gets lucky................... :wink:

Mike,, you made my heart skip a beat. I thought; "Now what kind of engraved Blackhawk has he found?"
But,, you are right,, it's fun to re-visit this FINE gun & an old thread.
