Custom Firearms Engraving

Author Tom Turpin - who has been writing about firearms and engraving for three decades - gives us a welcome overview of the engraver's world, including a discussion of techniques and styles. As you will soon learn, there are subtle nuances to every engraving style, and every engraved firearm takes on its own unique character. The other part of the story is the engravers themselves. Learn how the masters discovered their calling and how they honed their craft. Their story, and the story of their art, is a compelling one. More than 200 full-colour photos make every page a treat for the eye. An up-to-date 'Engravers Directory' provides the name and address of every artist featured in the book.
