Hi. Anyone on the forum recommend a good engraver, African theme and scroll work?

Cheers Baz.

Firearms engravers are pretty thin on the ground in Australia and I think they would starve if they relied wholly on firearms engraving for their income.
I came across this name some time ago but I have no personal knowledge of him.
RON CROXON ENGRAVING, Tamworth, 02-67658425
There was also somebody around the Blue Mountains (I think) that ran the occasional engraving training school years ago but I can't remember any details.
Please keep us informed on who you may eventually find to do your work.
Good luck.

Cheers for that.
I contacted Ron last week, and when my rifle arrives I will send it to him. He showed me some of his work and he is indeed a Master Craftsman, plus he has an interest in double rifles.
