Fantastic job, looks great!

Thanks. The gun will carried and used. That guy uses a cap and ball like the rest of us a cartridge gun.

Very nice. Where are you located?

Looks good. Always wanted to try that but my fingers don't want to cooperate anymore.
Appears you've learned well. Fantastic work! Now how about a closeup.
Thanks I will try for closeup.
Very nice work.
Appreciate the positive comments from all. Still learning. This is push engraving done with palm chisel looking tools, back ground done with dot punch. 5th gun I have done.
Very nice.

I have quite a bit of engraving work I'd like done. Do you accept requests/orders? Not sure what you'd call it...
Nice work of course, figured I'd edit to add that in case it being implied didn't translate well to my post.

Still building my confidence to engrave guns. The latest shown in this post is the 1st one I have done on something I did not own. Sorta figured if I messed up it was all on me. You see old guns that they state attributed to Young or Ulrich. Trying to avoid “f ‘d up by Peterson” as an attribution. If you want PM me with what you’re wanting and we can go from there.
That looks nice.
Don't get in trouble with the feds. Engraving a gun you do not own is considered gunsmithing and requires you have an FFL, unless you do all the work in the owner's house/garage/shop and the gun never leaves the owner's control.
Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.
Totally unaware of that. Thanks for the information
Hoping that a cap n ball is not considered a “gun” since it’s black powder. Too easy to get in trouble for ignorance, explains many of my problems. Mom said I was special.
