This old army/navy revolver was dug up some years ago by a friend of mine. I new it would come in handy someday. I wanted to try and show the 2 notches on the backstrap, in folk lore there was one notch filed into the gun for each man that it killed.
Taken in subdued light with on flood to provide the shadow, and hopefully a bit of mistery.

Cool object, but the dark baground competes too much with the subject which needs to stand out more for a quick read. The crop leaves me wishing to see the whole pistol.
very nice. a less conflicting background (white) would allow for the subject to be identified easier. I'm guessing it's nailed to a wall or something, though, and you cannot help that.
