Very nice. Thanks for posting along with your remarks on hand pushing. I am just starting and working on hand pushing so it is interesting to see just how much relief you can achieve that way. I'd have thought hammer and chisel would be easier for depth work. I was also wondering about the merits of hand pushing versus pneumatic for small delicate work and was thinking what you describe might be the case.
Thanks again for the insight. I like the style.

Ah, now that surprises me less
I should ponder more and let the espresso take effect.
Thanks

Engraving modern firearms made from modern metals isn't the same as 30 years ago. 1018 and other carbon steel is totally different than the modern metals I see regularly. Its a completely different animal.
Burt,
I don't see your signature or mark on that gun. Does Kolar allow you to sign your work?
Beautiful! One of these days I'll be that good.
