Joseph Condon Engraver to The Stars

[JJ Roberts]

I was at the Nation’s Gun Show in Chantilly, VA this past week-end and a gentleman stopped at my table who I had seen many times before. He is the nephew of Joseph Condon, engraver to the stars, who engraved many guns for celebrities such as Elvis Presley and Sammy Davis, Jr. Hoping that Mr. Nicolello will chime in and tell you more details about his famous uncle.

Thats really cool. Could you imagine the stories those tools could tell. Did the Nephew follow in his Uncles foot steps ?

Ed,Mr.Condon's nephew never meet his uncle and never did any engraving,Mr.Nicolello stops by my table at the gun show once a year and we talk he looks over my latest engraved guns. J.J.
