Engraving a mini Revolver

FailedFusion · September-26-20 14:09

Has anyone had a mini engraved or larger firearm? Who did the work? Was it hand engraved or laser engraved? What was the price? Looking to get a mini fully engraved and not sure where to start. First person to send me back an email said $10,000 -$12,000. That's seems crazy high but I never hand a gun engraved before.

10 to 12 thousand is crazy!

I'm sure he's not inexpensive. Does excellent work. May give you another idea on price.

I will email them both in a day or 2. $200 that's great price. Where they fully engraved ? Thanks for all the info.

I contacted Ottocarter and he said not accepting work right now. He stated he back logged 3 years.

I then contacted https://thegunengraver.com and he is very very reasonably Priced. So I'm pretty sure I'll be going with him.

Thank you for sharing his info I really owe you one.

I'm thinking a Sheriff is going to be my next Mini.
Liking the looks of it.

at first I thought oh no, you had a blackjack two engraved what a shame,until I looked at it I like it- it looks awesome I can't even see all the detail but like what I see,was it nerve racking to have a rare gun engraved,,,,I don't think I could do that to one of my rare ones heck I haven't even shot any of the rare ones but do want to get one more blackjack two and start carrying one- I got my 3 one for each kid and one of them has been previously shot before I got it so I need one more un shot and I'll start carrying the one that was shot, and I also have to say that's a nice collection

In my eye its more valuable engraved

Here's one I did for myself.
I don't engrave gun frames, as I don't have an FFL.

Wow, just wow .. I may have to look into doing something with my mini.

Rub it.
Shine it.
Show it off.
Love it.
When you are using it, store it in a shoe box. You should have another one too. That would be keep to the one you have company. But be very careful....
They tend to multiply in a shoe box.
