Who does this?

Who does beautiful work like this? I just traded for one of these in a 4 5/8in 44mag and want to get the frame corners rounded off like this and some jeweling done. This is a sexy SA six shooter.

Try clark custom, they do revolver work, and a great meltdown 1911 conversion. If they can't do it, they may know who can.

Who does jeweling?????

Just about any gunsmith. Its really simple, if you have some sort of
compound table or jig that can move about 1/10 of an inch, (or however fine you want the jeweling) Some people use those little hard rubber abrasion bits you find for moto tools, or, I use little wire brushes (sold by brownells) and valve grounding compound.

Its really simple. Practice on another piece of steel, dont worry about screwing up, you can just start over and re-do it. Overlap the swirls by about half.

Besides looking good, its functionable, those little scratches that make the jeweling hold oil.
