Geoffrey is an amazing talent. Your Mearn's clip is very nice. I had him engrave a damascus boot knife I bought from Galazan's a few years ago. Geoffrey was set up and engraving straight across the tent from Lou. After I bought the knife and looked at the plain brass bolster and pommel I wondered aloud if Geoffrey would do some "scratching" on it. I asked and he was most gracious to reply that he would indeed. He asked what I wanted and I replied that the only thing I was insistent about was my initials on a small shield on one scale. I told him to use his imagination on the rest. He paused a moment and said "What about some scroll here, and here, on all four sides?". It turned out beautifully, and understated, IMO.

What a gentleman Geoffrey is.

Geoffroy Gournet is indeed an amazing talent and Bob Strosin is pretty good, as well. Bob engraved this sidelock-shaped money clip and donated it to the MRC Sportsman's Club and their Great Northern S x S Classic to be given away as a door prize. I was lucky enough to win it.

Bob Strosin did the engraving on Gunner's Gun. He's also very good. It's nice to talents of both these gentleman in our fraternity.
