Congratulations to Tsu and the other new FEGA masters.

Out of curiosity, is it â€￾commonâ€￾ to have your guns engraved in China? Or are guns considered more like tools?

Well, you should consider, that firearms ownership by private citizens is strictly restricted and regulated in China. As far as I know. Maybe the privileged ones also like to have their guns decorated?

Wonderful example of the friendship displayed by master Scott Pilkington and the fellowship of The Firearms Engravers of America.
Thank you for sharing your artistry with us Tsu.

in the land of Scrolls,
Thanks to all for the comments. Big Thanks to Sam W and John B for the great influence that you have been on the engraving world, from the mid 80's onward. And Sam A too, for all that you do that affects the world of graverdom.

Scott, your input, mentoring and your Engrave In have played a great part in the friendship, fellowship and advances of hand engraving.
Just as has the influence of both Sam's. We are blessed by their example and goodwill.
And let's not forget the to thank Roger Bleile and Andrew Biggs for their masterful and educational publications.
They continue to educate and inspire us and our potential clients.

In addition to all of the good things mentioned here Scott was also the primary force behind getting Ron and Liz to the FEGA show. Big time kudos Scott.:clapping::tiphat:

Ifan's master certification is well deserved. And quite honestly, if there's a better lettering engraver out there I haven't seen him/her. He really knocked it out of the park!
Thanks for providing him the pathway to this, Scott.
