That's amazing. What sparked the idea for the layout and design?

Thanks for posting that.

Jacques: Your art and engraving, I think, is as good as anything that I have seen from the guys who have been doing this for 20 years. You need to get a FEGA license and start working on guns for fun and profit. I assure you that if I could do what you do I would certainly feel confident enough to cut anything. You may get better over time, but frankly I don't know how. Beautiful work.

Unbelievable. When I growup I hope I'm that good. Two questions what size is the engraving, and I'm not sure how to ask this. I'll just ask, what your background in. Like influences training schooling. Your talent is top notch, the more I look at the plate the more I see. I really like the intricate and clean look. Great Job.
