As some of you
know, I started what I call my "Quest" over 10 years ago in an effort to commission a custom revolver from each of who I consider the top gunsmiths of this day and age. Between Hamilton's book on custom revolvers, JT's books with all the custom guns shown and pictures and stories of all the customs Fermin Garza has had done I caught the custom revolver bug in a big way.
AS these projects have come into fruition I have put all the receipts etc for each project in a manila envelope. I really like the book idea and with retirement coming up in less that two months that would be a good project to work on. The thoughts behind the project, the places where all the various parts of the projects came from and the fiscal numbers for the project. Throw in some gun specific pictures of each project and have one of the book houses like snap fish etc do a private book. The wheels may be rusty but they do still turn slowly!
