Glenn,
So you are saying that Mr Ken produces better engraving in your eyes than the ... old American masters?
I think I will have to withold judgement on that until I have seen Mr. Hurst's rendition of a flying turnip on a Parker.
For those of you that don't know me, I am a metalsmith that specializes in single shot rifles. Long ago (when I still had hair) when I was just getting my feet wet in the world of fine guns, a famous engraver by the name of Ken Hurst decided to give me a break and commisioned a rifle. Pleased with the work, he kinda took me under his wing and helped and poked and prodded me and promoted my work. The culmination of this relationship was this winter when I was accepted into the ACGG as a regular member.
Ken still hold my elbow and tries to keep me on the straight and narrow, and I keep poking the old bear with a stick now and then. I can't see how it would work out much better...
Glenn
