General Lee's Colt

[The Trinity Kid]

Hi Y'all.  I was wondering if anybody had any close-up pictures of General Robert E. Lee's Colt Navy revolver.  I was thinking about possibly getting my Navy engraved like that, but pictures are needed.  Plus, it's just pretty.

I guess my memory is starting to go. it didn't seem like that long ago when I had the magazine. I did a search and I believe this is the man at arms magazine that had a picture of lee's colt

Then as now - it's only money.

Money I'd never spend on an Italian clone - not with so many available engraved that have already been done in Italy.

And - the work done was by 'Ormsby' - not 'Armsby' - you'd think they'd get it right, given it's 'Holy Relic' status...
