S&W Model 19

[Weldon47]

This is a S&W model 19-2 I did late last year before things got tough. Relief engraving with American/Nimschke style scroll work with a few sculpted flourishes thrown in for some extra pizazz ( pizazz, is that a real word?). Finished in antique nickel plating. The cylinder was the hardest I have done in a long time, sure didn't enjoy that part.
Just getting back into the shop and looking forward to doing a lot of chip making.

Hope you enjoy,

Weldon

Sorry I didn't get to make Reno; hopefully next year! Sounds ( & looks) like it was great!!!

Great work as always and the design is very appropriate to the gun. Do you know how many hours you have in the entire project?

Weldon,

Your work is beautiful and your designs are amazing. Very few people in this world get make things of lasting value. Your work is not only treasured by this generation, but will be by generations to come. Thank you for sharing.

Weldon,
Rookie question: Has this Smith revolver been plated or has it been french greyed via acid.
My first gun as a Deputy was a stainless model 19 (m-66) it sure never looked this good...really nice.

Excellent as usualy. Love the large scroll work. Old west style. Q: where to you get your antique nickeling done.

 

[Weldon47]

Yves,

I do my own plating. At the moment I am not taking in outside work (too many irons in the fire so to speak). Perhaps in the future.
Thanks,

Weldon

Weldon. The S&W Model 19 has been my favorite revolver for more than 25 years.
Your work is fantastic! (It should come with a bib to catch the drool.)

Thanks for sharing.
