Centennial (Centaure) C&B revolvers

[erik_fridjoffson]

This month the last manufactoring engraved model from 1972 arrived me.

he was black, the silver inlay were dark, so I beginn to clean it.

First pic are all 4 regular sold engraved models, the others, when i beginn to clean the silver lines. The last is one with a carved grip, carved by special order from the manufactorer in Liege (Belgium)

The last pic are normal centennials 1860 in different models

Oh I love pretty guns. I only have one pretty gun, all the others are just work horses.

The pistol at the top with wire inlay and ivory or ivory-like grips is outstanding! Thanks for sharing. And a very merry Christmas to you and all forum members.

Those are beautiful! I never knew the factory did engraving. My Centaure is a plain one. Maybe when it grows up it can be engraved :rotf:

Merry Christmas everyone! :hatsoff:

Thank you for showing those wonderful engraved revolvers. I well remember the Centennial line of guns from the early 70's...they gave Replica Arms, Navy Arms and some other early importers a run for their money!

Those are fancier than what I like, but then again I could "adopt" one given a chance.

Nice, revolvers are my weakness.
