Thanks everyone. Willow is now 11 and is content to lounge most of the day. Although still has the energy for her evening walk. Ideally I’d like to find an “in the white” reproduction but not sure if I want to spend that much. Also have been looking at Upland Gun Company, they offer it for a reasonable price.

Kirk, Also keep in mind the option to take something like a DHE reproduction, wipe out the bottom engraving and then have your dog portrait done. It is a lower cost option vs. doing a whole gun on a custom basis.

I like that idea, hadn’t thought of that. Thanks.

It gives you a chance for a high relief subject.

Any idea as to a ballpark cost for an upgraded trigger plate like that with an animal motif but not an extravagant one? (Assuming you had an existing starting plate). I have a gun I would like to upgrade slightly but have not worked with engravers before.

Another idea on a Fox upgrade.
