Firearm Engraving?

[armalitesheepdog]

Well my Son had a Son...actually 2 years ago but I'm already thinking about the little guys first shots. I want to buy a Henry Golden Boy .22 for them for Christmas and have something engraved on the receiver to make it a more personalized gift that I will give to my Son for him and my grandson to shoot together and remember the old man when I'm gone. Anyone know someone or somewhere that could do a quality job. Not really looking for laser but hand engraved.
No where better to ask than here.

Hand engraving is something of the past with the precision of laser engraving.

That being said, I have a few contacts who MIGHT do some hand engraving.

Price will be substantially higher vs laser engraving, just forewarning...

hand engraving isVery Expensive ,seldom done not many craftsmen to do it .Machine engraving is mostly what will be seen , done with a hand held styles . Lazer engraving is the 3rd typeI could recommend 3 people Terry miller in Howe indiana ,
Cathy grandalski located in ill,I can vouch for these 2as they have done work for me
also you might try a local jewelry that engraves most use a machine

I know this is a little bit of an older thread, but I believe Henry offers custom engraving and also can give you a custom serial number (I think there are limits).

I’d like to know some of your contacts, I have a Kimber who belonged to a very good friend of mine that was given to me by family(Charlie Wines). I have his service pistol that I would like some engraving done but I do not want laser engraving. I want dedication, and craftsmanship into this pistol just like the man that this pistol belonged too.
