Got this little .31 at the gunshow this past weekend. Just finished putting a bit of engraving on it. Far from perfect but looks ok at a distance.

That's cool.
Now you're ready to get into a crooked poker game in any smoke filled saloon.
In school: We learn lessons, and are given tests.
In life: We are given tests, and learn lessons.
OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Awesome! Are the grips ivory or reproduction?

I couldn't see any mistakes. Even when looking at the closeup pictures. Now all you need is one of those wrist rigs like James West wore in the Wild, Wild, West, TV show.
A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.
They used to make conversion kits for those to turn them into .22 rimfire.
Very nice engraving by the way.

Very nice - me likey......
Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
A conversation kit would be dandy.
That would make me want to acquire a pistol for it alone.
Very nice work on the engraving.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
Making reloadable 31 cases isn't all that difficult. I had a Sharps pepper box that was definitely fun to shoot with them in it. I also wish I had a wrist rig as seen in Django!
Wish I still had it so I could send it to you for engraving!

This little pistol takes percussion cap. 8-10gr 3f and a .310 ball. Institutions say no patch. Have not shot it yet. Probably should before the next poker game.
Oh! I thought it was a tip up!

Swings to the side to put a cap on.
Nice work!
That’s similar to the Butler .22 Short Derringer I had long ago- but way fancier.

Very nice!
very nice - did you use a powered engraving tool ?
never pick a fight with an old man - if he is too old to fight he will just kill you -

I don’t own an air graver so this is old fashioned hammer and chisel engraving with a bit of hand push line graver for shading. Learning more with each project.
Would love to have a GRS or Lindsay air graver but they are quite pricey.
Nice pocket pistol.
Beautiful engraving. I’ve often thought it would be nice to try it. Unfortunately, I already have too many projects going for now.
