These P-85s were also engraved and gold inlaid by Paul Lantuch for Bill Ruger.

The grip frame on the P-85 is cast aluminum. The last image with, William B. Ruger, has a special hand-made, steel grip frame. Lantuch did not engrave or inlay on aluminum.

Hmmm...didn't know the first three in this thread existed.
Two additional guns are pictured on page 212 of "Ruger & His Guns", now for a total of five Lantuch P85's known.
Had Walt Berger passed away by the time his #300-00004 was made? The gun probably came off the assembly line in 1987?
