Phil, if this is your first engraved gun does that mean you were born with a graver and started cutting when at the age of 6 moths?
It makes most of us look like amateurs.

Nice. Makes me wonder if your early work ever has qualities that are hard to compete with for you.

Fabulous work as always Phil.
I think your work may have improved since then.............but only slightly
What gets to me is just how much work is involved in carving a gun with that much coverage!!
Cheers

Andrew, as you know, it's only when you do one that you know what's involved, and even then it's down to how good the finish is going to be!
