The dragon carving is not to my taste, but I can certainlly appreciate the work and talent that went into making it. I think I have seen some grips with an American Eagle , much like the Army and Air Force officers hat brass, that I like much more. That is still a quite attractive revolver.The art of Paul Persinger. May be the best ivory carver working with firearms that America has seen in any Generation.

Those maple grips are just flat gorgeous!
