    44 Magnum - Engraved with Gold Inlay / Animals **HELP**

    Nice gun. In the photo of the right side, the one with the gold sheep ,it looks like the engravers initials could be MMS. Then on the left side, below the gold lion and the gold border scroll looks like a very small PJ in the blue below the border and scroll.

    Gold inlay question

    Thanks Sam. As you say, maybe his problem is he is expanding the cavity area when creating the undercut. Sounds like he is on the right track and working on it. John B.

    Gold inlay question

    Leland, Do you mean too Wide, or too Thick?? Maybe I am miss understanding you. A picture would be a big help. If they are too Wide. Trim the outside back after inlay. If they are too Thick. Use thinner gold or shave the top down after inly. John B.

    Finding the Engraver

    Looks like a stylized combination T J F to me. Or some other order of those letters. But just a guess on my part But maybe Roger can figure it out if he looks in. He's our expert. He may also just recognize the style of engraving and shading. John B.
