Default Colt Gatling Gun - George Spring

I received this nice note and awesome photos from George Spring today.
George is the master engraver at Colt. He is engraving/lettering a Colt Gatling Gun
that is to be at the NRA show this year. The gun is 5 barrels of 45-70 cal
and weighs about 200 lbs.

Hi Steve, here's a shot of a lettering job on a Colt Gatling Gun that your
PalmControl played a role in. Great tool ! George Spring

Very nice, the inscription and the work.... I think that's the Remake of the 1877 Bulldog which goes for about 50k?

Wonder what the price will be after factory engraving with an archive letter!!!

Good thing the show is in Texas and not in Colorado, New York, Connecticut, Cali or Mass cuz they'd have to shorten the magazine to 10 rounds and grind off "infringed".
