A few months ago I picked up this lettered John Adams engraved SAA for about 1/2 price because someone along the way put their name on the back strap and poached the original Ivory stocks. One of our forum members (PQuig), who is a master engraver, agreed to take this project on and cut a new back strap and fitted new Ivory. This SAA is now back to looking like new. I thought you would enjoy the pictures.

Great looking work PQuig!
The gold inlaid Colt on that compound curved recoil shield is a very difficult thing to do.

Beautiful SAA, I know you are proud of it as I would be. Just for my information, what is poached with the Ivory Stocks. PQuig must have done a great job. Thanks for the information. Dennis

In answer to the two messages above, The SAA was originally engraved by John Adams and came with Ivory stocks. When I purchased it the Ivory was missing and someone had their name engraved on the back strap. Phil Quigley engraved a new back strap to match the SAA and fitted a new set of real Ivory. Below is the letter from John Adams and the original back strap.
