Cylinder Engravings
« on: February 21, 2006, 11:29:21 AM »
I came into a Richardson conversion of a second generation Colt Model 1860 revolver and a Richardson-Mason conversion of a Colt Model 1861 revolver.  The conversion work was done by a gunsmith in the Denver area. I am unable to determine who did the conversion because the previous owner took this information to his grave.  The conversion work is excellent but the cylinders lack the engraved scenes.  I understand that there is someone out there that has the capablility to roll engrave the scenes on my cylinders.  Anyone know anything about this?

I had the chance to talk to Walt Kirst at the NCOWS convention this past weekend and he is going to offer it too within the next couple of weeks.

Visited his web site but no information on how to contact him.  Would like to ask him if he is or will be engraving cylinders.
