I wish I could have gotten an early start in engraving after reading about fellow engraver Firmo Fracassi he started engraving at the age of 12 I would have love to have gotten with a engraver here in the US at that age did't have a clue at 12 thought all the engraved gun where engraved in Europe & England after reading Stoeger The Shooter Bible in the early 1950's dimo64 keep up the good work engraving & teaching.
