Looks good!  I am not a fan of brass framed revolvers but that one looks right.

That looks great!  I just got my G&G from my wife for Christmas this past year so it has just been degreased and is waiting for favorable weather to break in.

I sure haven't tried any antiqueing or anything with mine yet, but it looks like you have it pretty well mastered!  I like the additional ser# that you stamped on the cylinder. What size are the stamps? One eighth inch?

I like the B&W photo that scooby posted as well! Great pics!

actually, that serial # was from the factory.  I don't myself have any stamps, but if you want to see some cool stampin jobs, ole Drayton Calhoun has done some pretty bang up repros.  I think he hangs out here from time to time, he would be the one to ask.
