Right Jack, that's exactly what I mean - and the scroll engraving on the breech balls and the bottom of the frame as well as the dog in the vignette. The gun is obviously a Grade 0 or 1 and the scroll embellishment was someone's idea of upgrading. For lack of a better description - I simply called it an "upgrade".

It was probably originally stamped TWIST on the rib and I'm not saying the engraving embellishment isn't nicely done - just in my opinion, not original.

Laugh if you want and yuk it up, but boys, I have it on good authority that if I move to Connecticut, I can learn to perfect the craft and do very well.

I made this one for Bernard Madoff. It may become a collector's gun.
