Topic: engraving a Browning Silver Hunter  Number of Responses: 1

I have a Browning Silver Hunter that I am planning on giving to a friend of mine. He is a Marine and I would like to engrave the Marine Corp. Emblem on the gun. I believe that the receiver of this gun is aluminum that has been anodized. I was wondering if anyone has worked on one of these and what the difficulties are. I am a jeweler by trade and have never engrave on a fire arm before so any information would be very helpful. Thanks you in advance, Tim

Topic: Engraver Justin Michilena 1950s Miami--anyone know what happened to him?  Number of Responses: 0

Looking for any information on Justin Michilena, 1950s engraver worked out of a shop on SW 8th street in Miami. He was from Cuba, had a son that engraved as well until an injury stopped him from doing so. Can't recall the name of his son...any information could prove to be helpful. Thanks!

Topic: Engraving and gold inlays! Does anyone recognise the work on this Colt SAA?  Number of Responses: 5

I'm hoping some of you folks can recognise the craftsman who did the engraving and the gold inlays on this glorious Colt Single Action Army. The only thing that I know for certain is that he/she had to be associated with John Jovino in the 1978 time frame.

I'll attempt to attach both a long shot and a close-up. If I can only attach one photo, it'll be the long shot. If you'd like to see additional images, you can email me at mr.1897@gmail.com

Topic: REX, GET WELL.  Number of Responses: 8

Upon opening my issue #90 of the ENGRAVER magazine it was with great sadness and concern that I read of the resignation of Rex Pedersen as President of our Guild due to his health.
Rex has been a great President, an active and go-to BoD officer for many years before that and a great friend to all members who needed his help and guidance.
I have been proud to call him MR. President or Mr. Rex or just plain friend Rex.
Rex has given so much to us all, now it is our turn to return to him some of the love and support he has so freely given.
Let us pray for his swift return to full health.

Topic: Engraver Information  Number of Responses: 2

While on vacation recently we stopped in at the Boise Cabelas to look at Elmer Keith's firearms. I noted that he had 1917 whose engraving was signed "T.Moro" and dated 1974. Was he/she a member? Is he still around? This not really important, but I am curious.

Topic: Colt S.A.A engraved  Number of Responses: 0

I have recently purchased a Colt S.A.A. which was engraved after market. I believe that it was done in the 50's, the engraver may have been located in Reno Nv. He engraved his initals into the front of the frame, under the ejector housing. "The initals are ( G L ), does anybody have any information in this engraver.

Thank you

Topic: Can't recognize this engraver's mark....any help would be appreciated  Number of Responses: 4

Hello All,
I just purchased these two engraved Ruger Single-Six's. They are engraved with the same engraver's mark. I called Ruger and it's not a factory job. Any help would be appreciated. They both have the same marking on them. You can see it in this picture just forward of the frame, at the beginning of the barrel.

Thanks,
Vito
