    Scroll stamp pad rubber

    GRS made them out of CLEAR plastic. A great aid in placing them on the work if you kept the plastic background clean. Not quite the same, but Ngraver made a set of plastic scroll templates for use with a fine lead pencil. Check, both companies may still have some stock for sale.

    Need info

    The melting point of copper is 1984 degrees F. as you probably know. Most original charcoal pack heat case color hardening is at 2010 degrees, if memory serves. I have not tried this myself with copper inlays. But would advise consulting Doug Turnbull for info. He does great color case work...

    Scroll stamp pad rubber

    GRS used to sell them. I haven't seen them in their recent catalogs though. Maybe someone has an old set they want to sell. Try an ad in the Buy/Sell section of the Cafe Forum.

    Sorry for posting the soft iron inlay remark on your turf, JJ. In no way did I intend to highjack your post of the restoration of your Model 12.

    Archie, first see what a good metalsmith thinks about removing the vibro numbers. If that is a negative the numbers can be cut deeper with a graver and inlaid with carbon steel soft iron binding wire. In the past I have bought several guns and restored them that way.

    Treasures from my parents' basement

    Happy Thanksgiving

    Hi Fred. Luckily none of my personal racing mounts foundered. But it brought back vivid memories of my old English Language instructor, Mr. Sparks. Many years ago. He also taught English History and writing.
