    What's your favorite 1911 to engrave?

    There is a ton of logic in what Roger says about putting a whole lot of effort into a colt. The initial cost of the gun is miniscule compared the cost/value of the engraving. A colt will always be a volt and hold its value better down the road.

    What's your favorite 1911 to engrave?

    Any of the slides from all the brands have lettering that in one way or another ruin the concept of a good flowing design. Especially if you want to engrave any scenes on the sides of the slides. What most engravers en up doing is filing off lettering thus giving you a good clean canvas to...

    Engraving Uberti 1866

    Just be aware of the fact that the frame itself is cast brass while the side plates are machined brass. The feel and resistance while you engrave will be different as you cut from one to the other. They are fun to engrave.

    image transfer

    As Mitch mentioned, this technique has been around for a long time. Much longer than 6-7 years the main principle is somehow gluing the inked pattern onto the metal either with glue or varnish once the ”glue” is dry, the paper is wet and rubbed/dissolved away leaving the ink attached to the...

    Using a hardened bronze flat to remove excess gold from wire inlay

    Dang Mr Bissell Brazing rod ! that's a whole lot easier than the sheet brass I have been using after work hardening it.

    You can also try rotating the handle so to change the location of the button in your palm usually somewhere in the 12 o'clock position works but try a slight rotation in both directions to see if that helps
