I know that some of you here have had some of your guns engraved. I have wanted to for a long time but obviously price was a concern.
I was at a gun show last weekend and found a local engraver who had a few examples and I was impressed with his work. I talked to him a bit about prices and styles.
He also said that I could do it a little at a time so that the cost was not all at one time. That is great since he local and I wont have to ship things back and fourth.
I do questions though that I did not think to ask him but thought I would ask here and see if anyone may know.
First, I am partial to the gun all looking one color as opposed to the gun being a dark blue with shiney "new metal" engraved parts. Would I need to get the gun engraved and then reblued or what?
What about parts that are color case hardened? I assume that the Uberti guns are not a true case coloring so would I get the gun engraved and then send it to someone to have it color case hardened or would I do that first then engrave?
What are some other things to think about?
Photos welcomed and encourged.
