Glassartist 46 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 This is a shotgun I have just engraved, I am fairly new to engraving guns and this is the first portrait I have engraved on metal, as I am normally a glass engraver. The engraving was commissioned to mark the 50th Anniversary of the 1100 and the portrait is Eliphalet Remington the founder of Remington. I am now confident to engrave any persons portrait on a gun as well as any subject. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glassartist 46 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 We found out that Eliphalet Remington's (dodgy Christian name ) parents came from a small village in Yorkshire called Rimington which I believe is an anglo saxon name Quote Link to post Share on other sites
