JDW,

Gosh, I'm not usually one for lots of gold. I just like an understated use of it. But this gun is exquisite. And I very much like the 'skeleton key'-like center lever.

This gun is yet another reason I feel L.C. Smith and Lefever stand atop all American makers in terms of attention to detail. If they'd have been able to stick around longer and produce more examples, perhaps Syracuse Arms might have joined them.
