Repro engravers still working?
 

Wondering if any of the other engravers who worked on high grade repros alongside Gournet are still working?

Our good friend, the late Geoffroy Gournet, was THE in house engraver, hired by Jack Skeuese for the A1S Reproductions.

Thierry Duguet in Charlottesville has probably done a few. He is on youtube with many videos of his work. He is very good at gold work as well as other venues. He is also on facebook and instagram.

Our friend,,,Dave Fjelline...has a lady that does excellent work. She put a PH pattern on my straight grip/beavertail..Trojan 20..Good delivery times ..and a fair price...jv...

That is the Connecticut engraver Ms. Noelle Feucht.

I can help you. I work in all styles and very familiar with restoration and reproduction engraving on all American doubles. FEGA master, ACGG master, CCA Colt master.

I am at the Baltimore show this weekend and will be at the Southern in April.

Mr Edmonston.. can you post some pictures of samples of your work?…or do you have a website where we can see such samples?

Thank you in advance.

My website is westernengraver.com. Facebook and instagram are both under Artistry Unlimited LLC

In addition to repair/reproduction engravings I do the following:
Barrel addresses and all types of lettering
Monograms
Gold inlay lettering
Gold figure inlay
Gold linear inlay
Bulino/banknote
Deep relief scroll
English style scroll
Laser welding
Rust bluing

I don’t usually take pictures of repair/restoration engraving as it can be a delicate issue with clients. I do the work to the highest possible standards to match or improve what was remaining. It’s up to the client to disclose what was done. If someone asks my expert opinion, I am happy to look at engraving and evaluate whether it was repaired, authentic/original, or reproduction.

I also do metal checkering too, from commercial large low LPI to extra fine 40+ LPI…not my favorite thing to do, but when it’s needed for top latches, safeties, and forend latches I do it at the highest level.

Very Nice - Thank You!
