Howdy from Abilene Texas

Post by Otto Carter »

I just want to introduce myself. I am Otto Carter. I am a fan of Rossi lever guns. I own a 92 in .44 mag.
I am a firearms engraver. I just finished engraving mine and thought you would like to see it.

I took the liberty of opening your post and including two images from your picture so that the actual pictures are visible. Needs to be seen right up front!

That is absolutely beautiful work. Dare I ask what a job like that would cost a lowly gunsmith?

I don't know if you are aware of an engraver named Orville Kuhl. He was evidently the chief firearms engraver for many years for Colt I *think*. When he retired he did some amazing wildlife engravings on anodized aircraft aluminum. My parents knew him and I have several of those engravings. Shoot me a PM or an email and I'll get you some pictures.

Welcome to this great forum and keep those great pics coming!!!
