Engraving chaser recommendations
Im looking for a reasonable engraver to trace the dogs on my D grade 16. I tried the background black and it really made the scrolls pop, but there just isn't enough of the dogs to make them stand out. I have already dropped a significant amount of money into this gun and I am assuming that it doesn't take a ton of skill to chase engraving so I am looking for someone reasonable.

Noelle Feucht is a very talented engraver and among the most reasonably priced. She has worked on a great many Parkers. Keep in mind that an engraver will generally need to have the frame annealed before engraving because the case hardening it now has makes it especially difficult to recut engraving. But you should speak to her at the least to discuss your project.

John, it may not be a simple job, most engraving is done before a gun is case hardened, I'm not sure you can engrave it now, it may have to be annealed (sp?) engraved and then case hardened again. I'm sure someone like Brian D (who knows) will jump in here and give the proper advice

Noelle, is as Dean said and very pleasing to talk to. She did some screw work for me.

Cased gun parts are to hard to engrave and must be annealed and hand polished before any engraving,I was asked by a client to engrave his rifle receiver cutting through the bluing and I told him it's unprofessional and I would never do. J.J.

I agree with Dean. Noelle has engraved a number of screws for me and also chased other engraving and she does a great job. Her number is 203-788-4828, noelleinct@yahoo.com. Her charges are also very reasonable. Check out her web page at www.engravingbyNoelle.com. Tom

I contacted Noelle this morning and I am going to send the gun out to her this evening.
Thanks guys! |

Dave,Do you know who engraved your Colt Python and did you have any problem with any rust on the exposed engraving? J.J.

I had no idea who engraved it but I feel my collector friend might have. There was no problem with rust during the six months that I owned it, and I have no idea how long it had been engraved before that.
