Any idea what these sold for at the time of issue? Wonder about present day dollars for comparable work?

Bill, Would it be possible to persuade you to post a couple of detail shots of #100718, showing the engraving on the upper barrel and the L/H recoil shield? Even after going through the book on Jerred's work, I did not find a clear detail shot of those areas on the later group of Single Sixes.

Thanks,

I believe JERRED was paid about $25 dollars per gun.....

I believe WBR complained he could not afford that much :roll: :roll: :roll:

These were sent to Jerred in the "white" and returned the same.....the factory did the final finish...RR

Nice stuff Bill. Thanks for sharing. Yes, 5100 is a prize in itself. Still a bunch of engraved guns out there not accounted for. You never know when you will run into one at a show.

Dandzivi, I am so sorry that I did not pick up on your request earlier. I took a few for you , not the best since I was inside but maybe they will help you out. Can take more later if you need them.

Wow Bill

That Spanish is really fine. And I agree with Lee.... that backstrap is stunning.
