Here's a vintage US Army model 1911 a private collector sent me for engraving. No gold or complicated motifs, just scroll on this one. Here's the start of it, one side finished

Updated with finished pics below

All finished this one. Darn flu got in the way of a more expeditions completion. That's the danger of living in a hot zone with 2 infectious little kids!

Here's a Kolar shotgun I recently finished up for the factory.

And a Volkmann Precision 1911 in stainless I just started on. This will be in relief

Bert, you remind me of an ol' prolific b i t c h we used to have.
Every time we turned around she was spittin' out another batch of pups, just as you keep spittin' out another work of art.

Thanks for showing Bert! It has been good to see your transition steadily from jewellery through to engraving on guns. You seem to get through a lot of work, it is impressive. Out of curiosity, do you do much jewellery anymore?

Matthew. Not much jewelry. Although right now I have several jewelry projects in the works.

Marty, I'm full of surprises

Thanks for looking!

Bert, I'm starting to really like your style! Hope you don't mind if I try and incorporate some of your style into my work.....not copy, but try and duplicate the design somewhat.

Thank you. No problem Biggie

Here's another ongoing project I've been involved with. It's not earth shattering but it's what the company asked for and they have been well received

I haven't posted much here recently but that certainly hasn't meant there hasn't been work flowing from my studio. The 1911 with the "Germanic blackleaf" style has been sidetracked so many times but...it led to other orders including this shotgun which is nearing completion.
