I engraved these quite a while ago. The Smith and Remington are pics of 35mm pics I took from my old photo album. I have no idea where these guns are now or who owns them. I found the pic of the .25 Colt on Pinterest. A much better digital pic than my old 35mm prints. At the time I did them I was a starving artist and I couldn’t afford to keep any of my work. I engraved commercially from 1982-1993. Being self employed, taxes and health ins forced me to get a “real” job with benefits. I continued to engrave but not full time. I was also able to do work for myself that I could keep. All gold inlays are 24K wire.

Wow, words fail me! That is some serious artesian/craftsmanship there. Way beyond my skillset that is for sure. I'm lucky if I can take an electric pen and make a straight line.....and you kiss off me writing anything legible.
