The NM FT 44 shown below was engraved and inlaid with gold in 2006 by Ruger's Master Engraver, Paul Lantuch. It is fitted with elephant ivory grips by Nutmeg Sports.

That is beautiful; it is as close to an English scroll as I have ever seen Paul Lantuch do. This man is an artist beyond compare.
Some of the Rugers he did for WBR have incredible intricacy. Myself, I am a fan of the English scroll as A. A. White does, but I definitely appreciate Lantuch's work!

One of the best looking Single Action revolvers I've ever seen, no mater what brand.
