Can anyone tell me who engraved this model 57, 41 mag., if its factory engraved, or other? I also have a matching 27-2, 357 mag. 8-3/8" barrels.
Maybe what they are worth.

Do you have a picture of the trigger guard area? I think that's where most engravers put their signatures.

Jerry , I'm no expert but the cutting has lots of "elbows" & doesn't look like factory work to me.

I'm sure it is not factory engraved as well. I'm afraid unless you actually find some sort of engraver's mark it will be hard to identify the person that did this one. The marks shown on the grip area are factory markings and not the engraver.
The work is of the "less schooled" engraver and may or may not have signed the work.
