Default Engraved money clip

Wanted to share a money clip I had made locally out of Sterling silver and then sent to Mr Gournet to have a Mearns quail bust engraved on it. I think it turned out fantastic.
What a great engraver.

Geoffroy is amazing!
Is that done in the Bulino style?

Dean it may be. It was shipped out today and this is a picture MR Gournet sent. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Geoffrey is an amazing talent. Your Mearn's clip is very nice. I had him engrave a damascus boot knife I bought from Galazan's a few years ago. Geoffrey was set up and engraving straight across the tent from Lou. After I bought the knife and looked at the plain brass bolster and pommel I wondered aloud if Geoffrey would do some "scratching" on it. I asked and he was most gracious to reply that he would indeed. He asked what I wanted and I replied that the only thing I was insistent about was my initials on a small shield on one scale. I told him to use his imagination on the rest. He paused a moment and said "What about some scroll here, and here, on all four sides?". It turned out beautifully, and understated, IMO.

What a gentleman Geoffrey is.

Geoffroy Gournet is indeed an amazing talent and Bob Strosin is pretty good, as well. Bob engraved this sidelock-shaped money clip and donated it to the MRC Sportsman's Club and their Great Northern S x S Classic to be given away as a door prize. I was lucky enough to win it.

Bob Strosin did the engraving on Gunner's Gun. He's also very good. It's nice to talents of both these gentleman in our fraternity.

Phil that is razor sharp, I'm impressed.
