Beautiful engraving on my new Ruger

[markswill]

Just exercised my second amendment right and purchased a new Ruger revolver. THey had one that was plain stainless steel, and one that had been engraved. Man, I'm a sucker for anything nicely engraved; ain't that a byoot?! - check it out-

Mark, Who did the engraving? J.J.

I wish I knew; I don't see a stamp or anything identifying information on the gun; whoever it was, they did some niiiiice work!
Here's what I don't get. They had a stainless steel version without engraving; and the same model (which I bought) with the engraving for $200 more. Is it me, or does it seem a little light on the engraver's fee? And I'm honestly asking out of ignorance, because I am very much still a newbie. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light. Y'all stay well out there. Fools abound!

IMO that is far more than a $200.00 engraving job..
Especially on a hard metal Ruger.
Congrats on a nice gun, enjoy.
I think you got a great deal.

Thanks John-
That’s what my gut was telling me too. I might shoot it every now and then, but I might just hold on and pass it along to my son. If we’re still allowed to have firearms that is...

your Ruger looks nice but that is cnc engraving that's why it was only 200 difference.

Man, I hate to hear that- much rather have a human do that kind of work; but thanks for the info; and it's good to know a person didn't get shorted a decent wage for beautiful work. Thanks and stay well-

It does not look cnc engraved and I don't think you should say that unless your 100% sure 200 extra seems like a great deal

A couple more pictures dedicated to showing the engraving under better lighting would ferrett out the answer

Just do a search for “Talo engraved Ruger”. They are CNC machine engraved.

thanks for the information- just found the talo engraved ruger online. I hate that it wasn't done by human hands, but I'm glad engravers are getting paid more than what I paid for the upgrade. Even still, I love the engraving on it. stay well-

The sign painting video said it best Victory over vinyl . I do like the gun and would have payed the 200 for the up grade. Thank you for sharing this .
