Don’t get me wrong; that’s beautiful work. But it’s not the family gun anymore. Depends on what your idea of restoration is I guess. It’s like the old woodsman’s story: “I’ve put a new handle and a new head on her but she’s still a damn good axe.”

That is beautiful work. I’m sure the family will be proud of it and hopefully keep it that way. Brian are you engraving now?

No. Not really. I do very minor stuff that I feel like I can handle when needed. Like a simple screw head or a basic border touchup or something.
