Update time on this one.

Here is a photo that I got from Gournet today on the engraving progress.

The detail on the central bouquet is not done yet.

I like where he put his signature. Does Geoffroy sign all his work?

Not if asked not to. I have seen him put his signature under the safety button before. So it is on the work, but not visible.

He also doesn't sign very small works he does that he said might be copied by another, for obvious reasons. I once asked him to engrave the pommel, shield and bolsters on a damascus knife I had. He enthusiastically agreed and started work on it then and there. I asked him if he would put his initials somewhere on it and he declined, with the above explanation. The shield came loose from the tapping of the hammer and he had to take it home to repair and finish the job. When I received it a couple weeks later it was accompanied with a note to look for his initials. He had a change of heart and initialed it for me, and I was thrilled.

He is as much a gentleman as he is a master at his craft.

Great job so far, Brian. Can't wait to see it after the cch is done. Is Turnbull going to do that, and will he also do the hard fitting afterwards, or will you?

Geoffroy just keeps getting better and better.
