Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I was wondering if someone could recommend a good engraver to do some scroll (touch up and add) on my old Westley Richards? Im in Illinois. Thanks in advance.

I am also a big fan of Bob Strosin's work! I should he just finish a Fraser rifle for me that is just stunning!

However if you are looking for someone in Illinois I can highly recommend Fred Bowen (847-265-8316). Fred lives in Lake Villa IL and does superb work.

Thanks for all the replies. I'll check out everyone's work and make a decision from there.

I don't know where you are, but if you are near Florida at the end of February, the Gator Skeet and Trap Club is hosting the World Vintage Skeet shoot Feb 25-28. Roland J. Robidoux, an engraver of shotguns and other neat stuff, is planning to attend. You can drop by and see him in action. If you like to shoot Vintage shotguns you can also play with them. We will be shooting skeet, trap, 5-stand, and the International bunker. More information at www.gatorskeetandtrap.com.

+3 for Bob Strosin. He does very good work, and is a very nice guy.
