The art of Paul Persinger. May be the best ivory carver working with firearms that America has seen in any Generation.

The dragon carving is not to my taste, but I can certainlly appreciate the work and talent that went into making it. I think I have seen some grips with an American Eagle , much like the Army and Air Force officers hat brass, that I like much more. That is still a quite attractive revolver.

A weapon conceived in prison, birthed in war, and later adapted to automatic capability.
Garand's ba***rd little brother is quite the sonufabitch with a hard-earned bar rep but not everyone's
jack leg trial lawyer choice. Lucifer himself carries the AK-47 though in a pinch ol' Scratch would probably
give the nod to Williams' carbine.

That last one is a Mexican eagle, standing on a cactus with a serpent in its beak. It's also on the Mexican national flag. The motif is from an Aztec legend.

Dragons?!

About as traditional as you can get for the southern border of the US and Mexico. Eagle and snake symbol has been around, as mentioned above, since the Aztec. One of Elmer Keith's favorites as well. He used it on #5.

Those maple grips are just flat gorgeous!

That they are. Thank you. There’s a lot of Blackhawks out there so I decided I would give it a personal touch. When he made the grip he called it “super quilted” and they’re stunning in person.

I’m keeping the Security Six classic since I’m partial to blue steel half lugs.

Just learned about this thread, thanks to @BobHufford
I'm pretty new to guns, about a year and a half in, and have purchased a few. I've discovered I gravitate to revolvers of any sort, but am interested in learning more about historical ones, particularly from the Victorian era/Old West.
