I can't get over how interesting these guns are to look at. After years of lusting after expensive British guns, I'm amazed at how good this gun looks to me. I wish I shot it better (I can shoot it, but with all that drop I'm just not as effective).

I'm with you there. Working works of art! I can walk thru gunshows now and not even slow down unless I see Smith sideplates

The early pre-13 guns have a more refined appearance. The engraving seems finer or more well executed than the later Ideal et al. patterns. The aesthetics on that FW Monogram listed FS on the other LC site are just amazing.
