I could only wish that that yellow lab only ate tinsel. He also ate a step of the neighbor's house and when he was teething he chewed a hole through the asphalt in my driveway. My favorite was when my wife woke me one morning and asked me not to kill the dog untill she came home from church. When I went downstairs I found that he had chewed a hole through a couch that my wife hated. I still think she rubbed that couch with a porkchop to get him to chew on it. He was a great dog.

Someone else you may want to consider is Pauline Muerrle.  Pauline was the last engraver employed by the Winchester Custom Shop,  still doing engraving, and has most if not all of the original factory patterns.  If you want contact info drop me a line (E-mail/PM0

I wound up getting two Highwall actions from American Gun Company and having them both engraved.  Border engraving on the frame, scroll on the lever on one. The second one had the same engraving as the first and in addition there is an open diamond of engraving on the sides of the action.  I had the engraver checker new  hammers, as the maker was doing some pretty crude cross-hatching on them.  The new hammers are now being fitted to the actions by a highly competent Highwall smith.   When they come back from the smith I'll post photos.  I liked the engraver's work on Colts so much that I gave him my most accurate 2nd Gen Single Action in .357 to engrave. I lucked out in finding the engraver. He's a contract engraver for Colts.  Can't give his name as he is not taking any new work. I lucked out because the Highwall gunsmith is his friend and the smith put in a good word for me.
