Since Frank Hamer's 45 was mentioned, I'll post a couple of pics I took of his engraved pearl-stocked 45 several years ago at the NRA Museum at the Springfield MO Bass Pro. Pics were taken with an old phone and glare edited out as best I could. While I don't care for pearl grips there's no shame in them, especially if they are carved with steer heads.
