Don, the engraving is very tasteful, especially with all the stippling between the engraved parts. Someone took much time to complete this deep relief engraving. Do you think the grips are factory original ivories? Thanks for sharing Don.

The medallions may be set too far back for Factory grips??

The scroll work and gold inlays remind me of Alvin White.

Nice gun, and we've seen some of the real early ivory ,even stags with the medallions set back further...part of the vintage and time frame of when they were done,,,,,if too "common" and "perfect' in the set back and down, makes for the fakes, as that's what the "boys" did years ago......
have you looked UNDER the ejector housing, see if it is signed under there,,,,Floyd Warren signed his work UNDER the housing, name and date...................
again, awesome looking gun

That is a beautiful gun! Very well done. I think you should send it to Arizona to be with some of its big brothers. If you decide to send it be sure to include that scratched up Super Blackhawk.
