Tried using Yahoo briefcase back there.... have switched the files to a different location now and have tested it... seems to be working fine now.

Have updated the links in the previous post appropriately, but am posting the links here again:

***Edited to remove the file download links***

Cheers!

I have heard about some gun smith in dehradun who is a good engraver. If any IFG member knows about that gun smith then please let me know.

I think it all depends on what do you have in mind and how elaborate or intricate the pattern is.

All the best

Gentlemen,

I have some prices here - they are not carved ins tone but they should give you an idea of what to expect to pay in the US or Europe. Some engravers charge by the hour - you will not get work done by a good engraver for less than $ 28 to 30 an hour, the number of hours would increase depending on how elaborate the picture is. With the topmost engravers your cost would, in some cases, be more than the gun itself is worth.

I talked to Ka'imiloa and he told me that though he has no problem doing Bulino engraving (to offer lifelike pictures) he does not recommend it on a gun that would actually be used as it is very delicate and could wear off in time if the gun is hunted with. However, if someone is willing to pay for this kind of treatment, it is their money and they would get what they want as long as they pay.

Cheers!
