Bill, you don't need to know who J.D. is but I know Brian knows him well. My reply is a direct response to Brians post and if the knowledge expressed benefits members, fine. If you read Brians post you'll notice he questions why annealing was not incorporate when the engraving repairs were made. I gave him a reason and wanted him to know the source so that he could find out more if he chooses for the future. J.D. is one of the finest engravers in the country, to my knowledge has NEVER advertised to seek commissions, is a very private person, is semi retired, and a good friend. Enough said.
