Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Other than added detail and dimension, the major thing that hand cut engraving adds to the equation is light reflectivity. That shimmer in the cuts are what helps it stand out once case coloring is done.
I was looking at this gun today some more and it is simply knockout!
I need to get it into Nitre Blue with my next batch soon and off to case color once a few others in process are completed and ready for pickup.

Did the frame need to be annealed before the engraving was re-cut?
If not and this were my gun I would consider leaving it silver and not have it case hardened. I think case colors & bluing hides the details in engraving in many cases. This engraving looks so good the way it is, I would leave it that way with a possible coat of lacquer as replaceable protectant.
What's your thoughts?
