Hi, I would like to know how the engraving on this claw mount base was done? What was the process? Did the engraver use some sort of jig to lay out the lines? Or a special tool? I took a 2 week engraving class over at Lassen Community College Gunsmithing school a few years ago so I know just enough to know this would be difficult. As our instructor told us "straight lines are the hardest". I am particularly interested in how the checkering on both edges was done.
Here is a photo of one from a gun that I have. Thanks in advance for any information you can send me.
