You must not be looking hard enough...
Geoffroy Gournet works exclusively by hand with hammer/chisel and no job is too small for him. I routinely send him screws to engrave and I usually have them back the next week.

Right, Geoffroy is always my first choice.

But thanks for the suggestion. It might be worth it. After all, I wouldn't have to ship the whole gun. |

In the opening post I asked, "Does anyone have experience with laser engraving the monogram shield?"
Then I suggested that I might test his workmanship on the little Buck 525, which is a great little pocket knife. It's flat and would be a low-risk approach to seeing what the engraver could do. Does anyone have experience with this kind of engraving? |

It's probably worth sending a hand engraved gun to someone for hand engraving initials, whereas, it might be suitable to laser engrave an oval on a machine engraved modern gun, like a Beretta or a Guerini.
Laser engraving on a Parker - even just a stock oval - seems wrong. |

There's two guy's right here in the Denver area who do nice traditional hand engraving.
Russ Zima is in Westminster and John Todd in Aurora. I'm sure either one could help you out without the need to ship it anywhere. Russ Zima 303-657-9378 or 303-842-5926 John Todd https://www.acgg.org/index.php/my-pr...hn%20Todd.html Russ does nice work and may be a little quicker on turn around time. John is a true artisan. Good Luck! |
