levi littleton Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Likely reaching here but wondered if anyone could identify an engraver that use to work EOT and is likely no longer with us. Looking for a gentleman that engraved and took in work @ EOT consistently from '97 to 2000. Recently bought a pair of guns that "he" engraved but owner couldn't remember engraver's name. Back strap, cylinder and ejector rod housing are done up nicely. Appreciate a name or a list of names that might have done the work in those time frames. I'd guess there are a few here that own similar work. Thought some pictures might help. Appreciate any info or suggestions you might have on the artist.
