    Question: Inscribed Model 1886 Winchester

    Of course, anything is possible, but I have strong doubts that it was machine cut. Why in the world would scribe lines be needed for machine cutting? Scribe layout lines are clearly visible above and below the lettering in the photograph. And the second vertical line in the capital A and the...

    Question: Inscribed Model 1886 Winchester

    Hello Roger, and thank you for the excellent photograph. I'm willing to make a fool of myself by hazarding a guess. 1. It appears that the scribed layout lines, the narrow cross bar on the letters A, the narrow top and bottom of the C and the narrow cross bar the T all have remaining CCH in...

    Polishing after engraving

    I agree with Goldjockey. A scratch, when freshly made is usually a small "ditch" with the metal displaced to the edge and above the normal surrounding surface. The worst thing you can do is to erase this raised metal by using abrasives or scrapers. Use good magnification to find where the...

    Finished New Design

    Thank you Leland. Try extending the main scroll on the left closer to the screw head. This will allow that scroll to be about the same size as the main scroll on the right. Then come off the left scroll with two smaller scrolls. How about putting your initials in the grass area of the bison.? Or...

    Finished New Design

    I think the Bison is much improved and well done. The large scroll on the left originating from a smaller scroll needs fixing. Try revising the layout of these left side scrolls. And what is the little element in the outside of the right hand end scroll,please?

    Looking for an affordable way to get started

    Might I suggest you contact Ngraver Company an buy two steel graver handles and a couple of their pre- sharpened gravers. Your vise will service (bad pun) to get you started if you clamp or or fasten the base to something solid. Your hammer looks good. Best of luck and enjoy your engraving journey.

    Mystery object.

    If the pins fit the hole centers of an engraving vise it may be a fixture to hold the ejector tube of a SA revolver in different positions for engraving. ??????

    Ray, Gino was a friend of mine. As you no doubt know he was trained in Belgium and worked there for many years. Both he and Angelo Bee moved here and set up their individual engraving practices in the San Fernando and Semi Valleys near Los Angeles. Both of them were good metal smiths and...

    Ruger

    Strelok, The stainless steel wrap method you mention will work but it will not preserve the original finish. The idea behind the small piece of paper included in the wrap, usually a piece of cigarette paper, is that as it burns it consumes most of the oxygen in the wrap and limits the amount...
