Description:
Freedom Arms Model 353 Premier Grade .357 Magnum. Made in 1994 and engraved over 20 years later for the original owner, serial H0261 has a 4.75-inch barrel (blade front sight with a red-highlighted face), low profile rear sight (adjustable for both windage and elevation) and a five-chambered cylinder. ENGRAVING: FEGA Master Engraver Roger Sampson completed the engraving shortly after the passing of the original owner. Included documentation states the revolver received 267 hours of bench time at a cost of $6,675 (later settled with the estate). Covering approximately 85 percent of the revolver's surface, Sampson's intricate leafy vine pattern is staggering in both quality and detail. In hand the true artistry comes to life - for the engraving itself is far more delicate than a camera allows. Signed by Sampson at the forward shoulder bevel of the guard, initials "DR" appear at the top of the grip frame and are also hidden under the right panel. GRIPS: Both ivory and heavily-figured walnut as crafted by Tony Kojis plus the original factory grips are included. ACCURACY: The factory test target (five shots, 25 yards) has a center-to-center spread of just .515-inch. CONDITION: The revolver is at least 99 percent inside and out with but a hint of careful handling. ADDITIONAL INCLUSIONS: The original box, instructions, 1994 purchase receipt, 2016 engraving receipt, FEGA engraving certification card and secondary papers are present. The price is firm and layaway is available. $7,500 plus shipping.
