Need a new engraving project. What do you fellows suggest??
Few guns look as good as an engraved Single Action Army, in my opinion. If you want to go even further, look at Elmer Keith's #5 revolver.

A 45 Colt original Vaquero.
A 45 Colt original Vaquero. Love to pick your brain on engraving.
What would you like to know?
A NAA Mini Revolver would be a good little canvas for your talent, sir.
For grins, do a caricature of Sleepy Joe on an 80% "AR14"- stealing an election.....

I don’t know your skill set so I’d suggest to start with a brass frame 1851 Colt Navy repro revolver. Not a terribly expensive workpiece. A brass frame Henry would look sharp but currently are rather pricey.
I would LOVE to get my hands on a Henry. But..... $$$$$Quote:

It’s a bad time to buy any firearm no matter what it is especially a decent project gun. I would steer you towards the Italian cas repros. Cas shooters like dolled up firearms and generally have disposable income to play with. Look forward to seeing your ‘new’ project.
Thank You. Yes I have been looking at the Italian reproductions. I have engraved many vaqueros over the years when I could purchase them for 400 or so for a good used one but now everyone is just to proud of them and priced me out of the market.Quote:
