I know not everyone likes the ornate engraving on a gun but I love to see a piece of precision machinery that someone has turned into a work of art. Nice gun!

Yo Penn,
I have the exact piece. My first center fire handgun. From the factory, the best trigger of any firearm I own and at 25yds very accurate if I do my job. Bought it in '76 at age 19 so dad had to sign. Dad is now long gone and in a couple weeks I will be as old as he was at the time. Later had the local Sheriff issue my first carry permit and packed it in a Safariland shoulder rig and I confess, while wearing a turtle neck - it was the 70's, and confess again, a big fan of John Shaft.
Just sharing a few good memories of the old days and the 19.

My first handgun was a Virginian Dragoon. Not a silhouette model like model like yours, just a plain old .44 Mag. One of the many guns that have come and gone that I wish I still had.
Love the old flat latch!
Please let it be. The character that gun has represents the time your Grandfather spent with it. That within itself is priceless.Quote:
My inherited Ruger Security Six .357 magnum. Want to refinish it, but it is exactly in the condition it was when my grandfather passed away so the nostalgia keeps me from it.
Very cool!
I agree!

Nice collection BTW.
I love those old six series Rugers, very nice.
Very cool, thanks for sharing. I hate to say it but, I remember those days. Turtle next shirts, plaid pants etc. In some ways things have change for the better.
here's some pics of my revolvers....
