My new/old project - The Firearms Forum

powdersmoke · 07-09-2004, 10:00 PM

I finally fit the grips to the 1849 pocket pistol (not perfect but acceptable

) and started the scrimshaw on them. I haven't quite got the whole design worked out yet

but my wife suggested a web with an insect caught in it.

Whadayathink??? Maybe a rose with a web connected w/insect waiting to be devoured?????

Exceptional work and threads like this are few and far between. We need more of them. I like the choice of the black widow, others choices would be a sheriff's badge, a saddle, a scorpion, and a United States Cavalry sigil.
