and if you display it, how?
We've had a number of threads lately asking what's you best shooting, what's your favorite, and what's your oldest revolver. They've all been really fun. Let's keep the fun going.
This thread is about looks. What's your best looking revolver in your opinion. Pick one, or two if you have a tie. Do you choose to display it? If so, how?
Please don't lecture or pontificate about the hazards of displaying guns or about lack of security. We've done that already, we're all adults, and we all make our own choices.
To my eyes, this is my nicest looking revolver as far as fit and finish, proportions, and overall appeal.
I got it lettered a few years ago by S&W. I made a copy of the letter, folded and pinned it as a backdrop for a shadow box, and set the revolver inside a curio cabinet in my living room.

Sorry for the poor image quality, but I was shooting through glass and there is a mirror on the back of the cabinet.
Here's another Shadow boxed gun that sits in the cabinet on the other side of the TV stand. Its debatably pretty but I really just wanted to share the shadow box display. It's a pinfire I've posted pics of before and this one has an old design drawing of a pinfire cartridge as a backdrop that I found in the internet.

Gotta say I like the Shadow box displays, and I like having guns on display in my home. When they're real lookers they make me happy when I stop and stare for a moment.
