MOMAX GRAVER BLANKS

[AllenClapp]

Are Momax gravers still available? I am revising the FEGA engraving handbook. There is a discussion of Momax gravers that I am not sure should stay in the handbook. I cannot find anything about those gravers online.

i own a couple of them. they were manufactured by the jessup steel company in washington, pa. about 10 city blocks away from my home. i know that the gravers were about as good as any gravers available to me at the time. as far as i know, that alloy may no longer be supplied by the company that "bought jessup. -- allegheny ludlum. allegheny was purchased by ati. btw, i recall that they were known by the designation, "purple label"
ati is currently operational. i'll give them a call wed. will let u know wed eve. if the alloy is still available.
