I got this pistol into the shop for rework. Thought that you might like to see it. It is an old Bullseye gun in the tradition of the early Clark customs. This is the first one of this genre that I have had a chance to see personally. Pretty interesting stippling and sight arrangment.

Notice the depth of the stippling and the interesting front and rear sight mounts.

The stippling brings back memories of guns I saw at various ranges. The one I am thinking about about had a full rib on top with the extened front sight. I was always happy with lightly modified Gold Cups.

I know why it is in your shop. Be kind to the Colt and get her looking like the lady she once was.
