RES Engraving - 20 Photos
 
Robert Strosen of RES Engraving provided some wonderful examples of his engraving of classic shotguns.

This is a Fox which will be completed for less than the cost of the basic CSMC AH Fox! Robert restocked this gun also.

While I was photographing Robert’s work Chris Rossiter, a young engraver of Custom Stocks and Steel came to ask Robert’s advice.

This is “Gunner’s Gun” which belongs to my friend Rich A.

The colors were induced by me so that the engraving would have more contrast.

Amazing stuff!! thanks Mark!!

Bob does nice work thats for sure and he is fair priced with a reasonable turn around time. I'll be hunting with "Gunner's Parker" this fall. I saw Bob last year at The Southern, Hausmanns and the U.P. shoot. It was there that I saw and handeled some of his Fox guns and talked to others who had work done by him. With all the positive comments I looked no further for the artist to engrave my project.

Angel Cruz 06-06-2012 09:56 AM

I think I found the person for my project. Now I have to decide which gun I want done.
Rich, can you post he's contact info?? thanks...

Rich Anderson 06-06-2012 10:32 AM

Angel check your PM's

Angel Cruz 06-06-2012 11:00 AM

Thank you Rich!!

Mark: WOW I wish I knew about this engraver when I bought my CSMC XE, thanks for posting the pictures VERY NICE!!! Craig

Mark Ouellette 06-06-2012 06:48 PM

Angel,

Craig I agree with you about the CSM Fox's. They are very nice gun and I just bought an FE 410 but I like Bob's engraveing. It just so happens I have a Fox Sterlingworth 20 that could be another project. While at Hausmanns I saw where a smith took a Sterlingworth and made false side plates with crystal cocking indicators:shock: What a nice gun that could be turned into. Gunner locked on point and a flushing Pheasant on one side and a Grouse o n the other.

There are pictures of Dewey Vicknair's sideplate Fox on his website and more on the Custom Guns subforum on the Fox website.

Greg Baehman 06-07-2012 03:07 PM

Bill, would you please provide a link to this gun by Dewey on the Custom Gun Forum on the Fox website?

Daryl Corona 06-07-2012 09:19 PM

vicknairrestorations.com. I think it's located in the gallery. Dewey sold the gun to my best friend so I see it and shoot it quite often. It's really quite a gun.

Bill Murphy 06-08-2012 11:05 AM

Yup, that's where it is. I watched this gun through its construction and it is really an effort. Dewey also pictures a Smith with Scott like inspection windows. Dewey also filed my Fox Pigeon Gun in progress. It is also a very high effort project. No pictures until done, although I told Dewey he could put it on his website. I feel that my Fox is Dewey's best filing and peening effort to date. His peening work on my gun is exceptional. His part of the project is done.

Bob Strosin did the engraving on this 20-ga. Fox Sterlingworth Ejector for me. It was a pleasure working with him and I couldn't be more satisfied than I am with his work:

Angel Cruz 08-28-2012 02:15 PM

Beautiful!!!!

Gary Carmichael Sr 09-02-2012 12:08 PM

In the first picture is that a motor home he is in? Gary

Mark Ouellette 09-02-2012 12:29 PM

Gary,

Robert Strosin's mobile shop is based on a 5th wheel "toy hauler" type rig.

Greg - I've long admired Bob's work on that Fox.....as well as his other work. His detail shots on the web are supreme!
