So, you want some engraving done; you have a gun or have one on order and the sales person has given you the chat about how wonderful it's all going to be. You take delivery of your pride and joy, and it's far from wonderful, the instructions about the type of engraving, the way the game scenes are arranged or the amount of gold that has or has not been inlayed is all wrong. What should you have done? Well talk personally to the engraver is always a good start, we don't bite: well not often. Any good engraver that cares about what they are doing will want to give the customer the finished job that will make them both proud. So talk and get to find out what sort of engraving your chosen engraver likes to do or more important what they do not like to do. You will be surprised at the sort of things that can be done, I have studied the engraving that has been done on antique guns and can now duplicate the techniques of the old masters, including the silver wire inlay that was put into the wood work. These, as well as traditional and more modern patterns will give my customers something they can enjoy for years to come.
