Topic: Gettin started Number of Responses: 4
| I like restoring old double guns of my own, however when I need some engraving work done I send out. Work like recutting of letters, numbers and cleaning out original engraving after gun has been polished. I have a interest in learning this type of work. Where do I start? |

Topic: copyright Number of Responses: 5
| I have a question about doing a engraving pattern on a old Winchester that is printed in several books on Winchesters and engraving. The gun was engraved in 1876 but the books have newer printing dates of course. Would I be infringing on copyright laws of the books by using the style and layout of the old engraving? By dated and signing the work forgery would not be an issue. In the past we have all scene copies of historical guns copied by engravers. I am not looking for a legal answer but guidelines to follow. |

Topic: an engravers night mare Number of Responses: 16
| Lets say that you spent months engraving a fire arm and you did almost 90 % coverage, this gun is nickel plated so before you engrave it you must strip off the old finish, after engraving it you send it to a plater who says that they are experenced in plating fire arms ,you then waite 2 month to get the gun back , when you do you open the box un wrap the parts and then you go into shock , looking at the part you see that all of the engraving is destrayed all of your work is gone it takes 2 days for you to come out of shock ,you then call the plater and tell them what happened ,they say no way send pictures after 2 week you get an e-mail from them saying that they know what went wrong ,you ask how are they going pay you for the reengraving .they say that they cannot afford to do that now you are stuck with doing the entire job over for nothing .. my question is , what would you do .. i would like to hear what any one else would do.. this just happened to me .. thanks ron |
