Sixgun Nut
That's a really good question and not real easy to answer. I had to think about it. All I can think about, at this point in time, is how much I want something engraved but with an antique finish. I'd like to call Cimarron and order either a Schofield .44Spl or an 1860 Richards Type II .44Colt 5.5" with 75% coverage American scroll, their "original finish" and aged ivory. Something in the spirit of these originals, without the hefty price tag.

With the blank check stipulation, I thought about some high dollar original collectible but I'd really rather have something that looks like one but something I can use. It's a fun one, maybe some more folks will add their "blank check sixgun" to the mix.

I second that motion So now it’s open to anybody you have a blank check only condition is it’s a revolver!
I’ll have to think on this one I’d probably go to Bowen maybe have a custom hunting rig done up or .....the elusive Johviono sic model 57 snubby I’ve only seen pictures of online talk about a great belly gun......or maybe a original bankers special from colt that had the fitz treatment!
So many great ones so little time to get them also lack of blank checks

A Smith & Wesson "Registered Magnum" (ala, a gussied-up Model 27), preferably having a 5" long barrel.

Stocked Aussie S&W no 3. One sold on Gunbroker a year or so ago and it had the perfect amount of wear to show use and make it usable without feeling bad about it, but it was still incredible.

Me, I would have one of my 581s shortened to 3", Gold bead front sight, 75% engraved, round butted, deep polished blue, Rose wood grips, Moonclipped, and money no object convert the cylinder to 5 shot 41 magnum.

I love the historical guns of the old West, and a 1st generation SAA in good shootable condition is on my bucket list.
However, if I were given a blank check today to be earmarked for a revolver, I'd build a custom.
Chambered in .44 magnum.
A Ruger on a Bisley frame.
Oversized 6 shot cylinder.
Octagon or banded barrel.
Built by one of the masters like Bowen or Huntington.
Grips by Rowen.
I'll do it one day.

Blank check wouldn't help, it's a Tiffany creation in the Arms & Armor dept. of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
A few more... https://www.cnn.com/style/article/tiffany-bejeweld-guns/index.html

The S&W Victory Models are K frame. They won’t hold the 45 ACP. Were you thinking of the 45 Hand Ejector U.S. Model 1917?

My blank check would be spent on a pre-production New Century Triplelock like the ones they sent to the U S Army tests of the 1909. They were chambered in 45 S&W Special and the family was planning on it being adopted and becoming the flagship of the line. Unfortunately, the contract went to the Browning pistol and S&W went with the 44 S&W Special.
I would happily accept a recreation of that revolver if an original can not be located for sale.

I'll second that. IMHO the finest revolvers ever made.
