Amos Dunst does not Google and I am not going to guess a dollar value, but that is a handsome revolver. And short "Virgin Dragons" are quite uncommon. 0 -
Yup I already tried google, that is why I posted it here. Thx tho 0 -
I am not normally a Big Fan of the Virginia Dragoon " even thou I live in Va. " Most Tried to look Case Color butcame off a Motley GRAY not very good looking. How ever That is a very nice pistol Tastefully Engraved
It is not "OVER THE TOP" but the two gold rings do denote Class.
EDIT
Hello I got in touch with a master engraver that I know. He looked up the name AMOS DUNST on the engraver'd GUILD and this person is NOT a GUILD member I then sent him a copy of your post . He stated that most likely this person worked in a JEWELRY store and did engraving there but mostly NON GUN ITEMS I would suggest trying some of the Jewelry
Stores in the area where the guns were made in northern Virginia0 -
Looks nice, fancier wood on the grips would help. I'd say it helped the value a lot. 0 -

The short barrel is what caught my eye right off more so than the engraving, very nice pistol & just enough engraving....not over-powering, sorry I'm no help on the price estimate as I've never seen one before......again, very nice [;)]0 -
Cannot get a really close look at engraving, but what I can see does not impress me with the quality of his work. I stess I cannot see it well, and better closeups of some areas would help. 0 -
Level of coverage is tasteful, but does limit the utility of a utility pistol. If closer/clearer pictures show the work to be of high quality I would think it would enhance the value of the pistol. Value would have to be in the eye of the potential buyer. 0 -
A very unique and beautiful work of industrial art...
Without the custom engraving value roughly 400 to 500.oo
With the engraving which could be one of a kind would be in the eye of the collector. I would venture upwards of $1,000.oo
Good luck with your beautiful piece of work!0 -
There's a plain jane version on the auction side now with an opening bid of $600. No takers yet, though. 0
