sam: it must have been a thrill & a half to meet him and get to know him. just to be in his shop where his work was done would be great.

On my first trip to the USA, John Barraclough and I had the pleasure of Phil's company at the SCI show. Phil kindly showed us this very gun and walked us through how it was engraved.
It was a most inspiring and energising lesson and one that I've never forgotten.
What a wonderful inspiring man and awesome talent he was, and continues to be.

Photos are wonderful, but seeing something like this in the flesh, would really be amazing.
I don't know about anyone else, but to me, it looked like Phil really did enjoy engraving this one!

Hi Gonza,
Thanks for posting this! As I knew about this pictures I would have loved to post this link, but for unknown reasons it was not accessible for me a few days ago.
Merry Christmas to all!

This summer as we traveled across the country from Maryland to our new home in Colorado, we stopped at the museum in Springfield MO. I saw these pieces first hand. They are sublime.
Moreover, I was just at the NRA museum in Virginia earlier this week and saw some of the Griffnee works there as well.
I feel all aspiring American engravers should make the pilgrimage to both of these places at their earliest convenience! Go there with sketch pads and plenty of pencil lead!!!
