Colt pocket 32 hammerless

[GTJC460]

Just finished up this old colt. It showed up in my mail box a few weeks ago. This will probably be the last I see it.

No transfers. I just drew the design on the metal and started cutting. The client sent me reference pictures and I did something similar. I did do a wax transfer from one side to the other, reversing it. After doing a wax transfer, I use an extra fine marker to draw out the design. This helps me see what I'm doing, as most of the time I only use an optivisor.

Thank you. Not sure how the customer will finish it as it's in the white.

These are some progress pictures.
