Hello. My name is Jeff Flannery. I live in Union, Ky and have been a full time engraver for 30 years. Mike Dubber engraved my first pistol way back in 1971. After graduation from Ohio University, I was transferred to Mike Dubber's hometown of Evansville, In, where I stayed for 3 years. We have remained friends for all these years. I do mostly production/factory style engraving in the American and English scroll. I also have done a lot of gold wire inlay. At present, I have inlaid over 2 1/2 miles of gold wire, and have engraved over 1,200 handguns. After transferring to Cincinnati, I met Roger and Carl Bleile at Louis Arms Manufacturing in Cincinnati, Ohio. This was a meeting place for many gun enthusiasts at that time. Roger and Carl Bleile and I have remained friends for the past 35 years.

My website is www.flannerygunengraving.com

God Bless America, No matter who is in charge.
Jeff

Hey, Jeff! Welcome!
Missed you a few weeks ago at Ohio Gun Collectors.
I was hanging around with Ray Phillips, Roger Bleile and Joe Rundell.
I really regret I just couldn't get Scott's Engrave-In worked into my schedule.
We need to get down there and do that.

Jeff, it's great to see someone new on here with such a long and very prolific background as yours. It's always nice to get as much good advice as we can.

BTW I like your web page and was looking forward to seeing your Cowboy Shooters but could not get past that first picture,:shock: I'll just assume they look as good as the rest of your work.:big grin:

As someone who has only engraved 20-30 guns and inlaid a few yards of gold wire, I feel like an underachiever!

Thanks for all the kind words. Engravers are a very unique group of people. I'm proud to be a member of such a helpful forum.
