High polish Type 1 357 Flat Top

Post by lowhighlander »

Just received this today. From the JCD collection. An absolute holy grail of mine now. I don't think there is anything that could make it look bad but my only factory ivories sure look at home on it for me.

Looks great from here. Ivory or Stag - either way will enhance a Hi-polish gun.

Those Ivories' & and plum cylinder frame really make her stand out IMO.
