Don't know who the owner is to credit, but kudos to you mate.

Mine would end up looking like I just scratched steel wool over it or something :lol:

What's the process there?

Engrave it, blue it, then polish the blue off the raised bits?

Hello people,

I found this forum by accident while Googling around. I happen to be the engraver (and owner) of this particular CZ. Glad to see it has reached that far, I'm located in Estonia myself.

"What's the process there?
Engrave it, blue it, then polish the blue off the raised bits?"

It's just "engrave it, fill the cuts with paint". I use Hammerite brand automotive paint, very durable stuff. US version of it is Rust-o-leum, I've no idea what it's called down under, though.
