This project is my first attempt at gun engraving. These Grips are made of 14K Yellow Gold. I will be engraving the Mexican Coat of Arms on each of them in deep relief which is another first for me. I am using a Lindsay Airgraver with a 120, 90 and a Flat Graver.

I appropriated the COA from a jpg of the mexican flag, ran it through corel draw 12, traced it and made it a wireframe (Thanks for that help Chris) and printed it on a transfer sheet. Then using Transfer magic I put it on the grips and started cutting.
