Smith and Wesson 64-2 from Daves House of Guns, 1976

[john james]

New member here from Colorado. A few years ago I bought an Engraved Smith and Wesson M 64-2, Stainless steel, from an estate sale here in Colorado. I sent for a factory letter and it informed me that it was shipped to Daves house of Guns in Dallas TX in 1976 in a group of 10. As that business is no longer in business I was wondering if any of you remember if they did any contracting for engraving in house. Its not factory but is beautiful with a white tailed deer on one side and appears unfired. Would like to know the engraver and as I am getting old need to think about selling some of my guns. Nice to find this forum, thanks for letting me join. best regards, John James

Wow, that's amazing. I haven't seen many engraved snubbies, in fact, that's the first one I can remember seeing.

morning, some where on the pistol is the mark of the
engraver. the mark could b under the grips. engravers
r very proud of there work. each one has there own style.
see if there is a directory per state of engravers. some
engravers can identify other engravers work.
that pistol is a work of art. beautiful.
depending of the serial of the pistol and the
manufactured date. $5000. contact the gun library
at cabelas. they access to evaluators for the pricing
of weapons, they also have people familiar with
engravers who could identify the engraver.
b very interesting. justme gbot tum
