The early 21s with the double trigger's wood was not always all that appealing, but the later single triggered ones had fabulous wood that though the years of polishing have developed a depth that looks three dimensional, like looking though a glass. The 1893 Colt has a similar look, rugged construction with wonderful wood. True American classics.

If you have one hang on to it and don't use it to hunt hogs. There are plenty of hog guns, but fewer and fewer unblemished 21s.
