Barry, fantastic work, thank you for sharing it in such an educational manner.

It should be mentioned that "bulino" is both the Italian name of the tool used
and of the engraving technique it is used for. Signor Mario Abbiatico in his book
"L'incisione delle Armi Sportive" refers to the bulino as not just a tool but a
"magical tool" considering the results that can be obtained with it.
