Is there somebody in the US that does this kind of stuff?

I would love to pimp out my Win 70 Safari Express like this but have no clue who to ask.

Thanks
 
There are piles of engravers. Try Jesse Kaufman ( Black Hills Engraving) out of Sturgis, SD for a start. Or just look up engravers for the gunmakers guild.
Thank you

I figured engraving wouldn’t be too hard to find but I’m thinking about the silver or gold (plate?) inlay’s specifically

I will reach out to Jesse though. Thanks
 
Overlay and inlay are the easy part. Also try Jim Blair of Glenrock, WY; and also Earnie Marsh. He is hear in Wyoming as well. Earnie will sometimes do a rifle or handgun if you ask hard enough. All three are or have been members of the guild.
Thanks!
 
Go on the FEGA website - Firearms Engravers Guild of America. You will find tons of professional engravers who can do whatever you want. I've had most of my work done by Sam Welch of Castle Rock, Utah.

Thank you, I was able to find a Master Engraver that is 90 miles from me. I will be talking with him.

That is one georgous shotgun!

A reliable,low cost option… these guys use a laser engraver.. but can do pretty much any artwork you submit to them (they are making me a M98 floorplate with a crusaders cross on it as I type this)… and they are simply great people as well…

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Frosty in Fort Worth
Getting some culling done!

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
