Another thing Steve does not mention in his original post: You don't say if you had the gun made for you. If someone has a gun made to his specs with a space for his name then I would say that it would be silly to have the gun made up that way and not have one's initials put in it. Wouldn't you think? The gun in question is an Ithaca Knickerbocker ca 1926 that I have refurbished. The initial plate is a shield type in what appears to be rose gold. I thought my initials may look good on there if I can find a jeweler or some one that can to the job for me.

Wow!! That sounds neat, Steve. You did so much work on it. Why not? Then again, you could always put JKW on it and let my son use it.

It probably sounds dumb to many of you guys, but who would you recommend to place a few initials? I know for example how beautiful Ken's work is, but, is it the kind of thing one should ask of an artist, or would it be an insult? No kidding, I've got a gun I want forever, and I really want to have my brand on it. But, as inconsequential as it may seem, I would like it done just right. Any opinions would be appreciated.
thanks

Dymo labels are for Nylon 66's and Tenite stocked J.C. Higgins(es). My Dad's country store was broken into one night and the thieves took, along with all the cigarettes in the store, his Nylon 66. We didn't know about the burglary until a Jawja State Patrolman called the house in the wee hours of the mawnin'. He asked if Daddy's store had been "broke into". Seems the crooks had a tail light out and were pulled over by the "man". They had the .22 lying in their back seat. The patrolman asked to see the rifle and when he looked it over he noticed the Dymo label on the f/end. He asked where they got it and one replied that he'd won it in a poker game. The patrolman, knowing my Dad was not a gambler, arrested them and all the loot was returned (eventually).
Do it, Dymo.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Don't be affraid to ask...engraving these days is more a pattern tranfer and the ability to run a motorized Graver that a lost art form.

I don't believe the fact that there are initials on the shields in the stocks of my CEO- and DEO-Grade Remington hammerless doubles lowers the market value any. My only problem is they are so fancy I can't figure out what they are?
