Normally legends are what we talk about
in the past tense. However this book is really about 2 modern day legends
being brought together by patron Hugh Eaton. The first legend is the
Colt .45 and the other is the North American engraver, Winston Churchill.
This book follows the journey from when
Hugh Eaton first meets Winston Churchill to discuss the project through
to the end when Churchill has finally finished the gun and has to hand
it back to the man that commissioned it. Rarely is the progress of
a gun so well documented and presented to the general public in such
a rich format.
The Churchill-Eaton Colt took several years to complete and Churchill
recorded the process in detail with very clear crisp and close up photos.
There are some stunning photos of the gold inlays and sculpting with
Winston's comments of how and why he does things and his techniques.
The finished gun is shown in white and when finally blued. There
are also numerous photos of some of Churchill's other engraved guns,
pendants and knives. Continued
