Otto,

You are taking the design element to another level! Will Cabot have that gun on display at the NRA convention in Louisville?

Otto Carter · Apr 14, 2016

Yes it will.

Otto, you are THE MAN when it comes to thinking outside of the box! I am fascinated by your interpretation of some of the older design elements and their strange and wonderful juxtapositions. Keep 'em coming my friend!

I think this is a wonderful piece. Creative , different, tasteful and an inspiration to all. Great Job! As I like to say innovate don't imitate. You certainly did that on this one.

Thanks Chris. Most humbled coming from you.

Cool, beautiful and complex! Your mind for design is amazing! I am curious if you do the complete design on paper first or do you make design adjustments as you engrave?

Omar Haltam · Apr 15, 2016

Aesthetic Movement of the Victorian Era. I wrote an article about it in The Engraver magazine.

Otto takes gun engraving to where it's never been. Great job Otto! Very imaginative and expertly cut. :clapping: :beerchug:

Love your design, and nice job on cutting. Way cool.

Otto, loving this style!

Well done and very imaginative! Are the cocking serrations on the slide the area in your engraving where cocking serrations are normally found? If they are, how deep did you make these?

I had them send me the slide and frame totally blank. The design is cut fairly deep and crisp. I don't know an exact measurement.
