Sorta makes the factory engraved 21's look sort of mass produced.

Sam's work is beautiful. Daryl, I also really like the style of your initials on the trigger guard. Is this your design, or Sam's?

Charlie, the initials were Sam's design.

RHD45 I appreciate your comment, but we should not be too hard on factory guns. Here's one by the Winchester Custom Shop. They comissioned Sam Welch to do this one.

Here's a photo of the pheasant before the receiver was blued. More detail shows without the blue.

I always thought the factory 21's engraving was "bare bones" as far as the scroll work was concerned. They didn't develop it as far as they might have and it looks incomplete to my eye.The one they had Sam Welch do is a quantum leap forward for sure.

RDH45, You have a good eye for the quality of scrollwork! Roger
