Engraving
I spent the weekend with J.J. Roberts in Manassas, VA working on engraving. We spent hours talking, working and me learning from him the entire time I was there. He is a very talented engraver / gunsmith that I am happy to know. His work is truly art in one of it’s purists forms. While I was there we did a 24kt gold band inlay on a Colt Single Action Navy revolver cylinder. This was completely by hand, no machines. You have to love that “Old World Tradition” style, we are talking hammer and chisel. Thanks for your time JJ !
