I am in the process of a restoration on a 10G Daly. Beautiful wood, 10G, non ej. Thinking about period style engraving, Anyone you could recommend?

Kevin, everyone I'd suggest to do a proper job has been dead a minimum of 100 years. Suggest you leave it as is and let it be what it is.

Here's a typical example of the work you'd try to emulate:

My Lord but those are beautiful!! My 10 is a box lock, and the gun spent most of its life as a boat gun in the North East seas, so the engraving is all but gone. At least now I know where to set the bar!! Thanks.
