Topic: Antique engraving tool set for sale.  Number of Responses: 7

I am an Antiques dealer and recently purchased a complete set of engraving tools which belonged to John Derr, a Berks County PA gunsmith, who worked from about 1810 to 1860. I was hoping to see if anyone in FEGA would be interested in these great tools, even though I was reasonably sure they would strictly be as a Collectors item. There are 24 tool handles w/blades on top shelf of the home made box, below that area there is a panel that is a hidden drawer. When that is removed, there are two drawers on either side. There must be about 100 extra blades of different types, 2 hammers and a tool to remove the blades from the handles.....I think the blades are case hardened. If anyone is intersted they can contact me via email. Regards, Joanne Conti

Topic: Found an Epson transparency substitute!  Number of Responses: 4

Thank you for posting that good news, Elizabeth.
And for your research. No doubt you're a happy camper now.
What merchants have you found that carry this brand or is it an online order situation?
And what printer and ink are you using, please.

Best regards

Please, somebody save me! I need to know how to remove bluing from only the scrolls in an engravings job on a handgun. I have heard about acid etching, pink erasers, etc., but what I need is detailed, step by step, use this tool this way, instructions. (I'm quite anal!)Thank you in advance for the lifeline

Topic: Rudy Marek  Number of Responses: 7

I just traded for a beautiful S&W that was 80% or so engraved by Rudy Marek. He did a masterful job. I need some background on Mr. Marek, and a recommendation for somebody near Madras who could repair over the previous owners initials, etc. It is a thing of beauty and I'm proud to own it. bwienert

Topic: Gun Blue?  Number of Responses: 2

Does the bluing have to be removed from a gun to engrave? or can you engrave it over the bluing. I understand it would be easier to have a clean gun to draw on. But if I can get a outline without removing it why not.

Topic: Engraver H. C. Logan of Louisiana?  Number of Responses: 2

I just bought a pistol with beautiful engraving. I can't find any engravers mark, but there was a tag in the box that said: (engraved by H. C. Logan of Louisiana). Does anyone have any information on Mr. Logan?
