My hand engraved Side-lock. A clone of H&H


Recommended Posts

Saw a picture of H&H on internet about 6 months ago, the engraving of that gun just attracted me. So here I gave it a try on a local made side-lock gun. The pixels of that picture wasn't too good. Forgive me if I had done some mistakes in this piece.  

 

Looking forward for your response.

No problem you are always welcome. I had worked with, Gavin Gardiner as well through a third party and had done some successful deals with them.  Do let me know if you have any thing regarding engraving. Would be pleasure to help or toil for you.  Thank you

This is very pretty work, but why engrave the name of Holland & Holland on it ? the gun wasn't made by Holland & Holland so it is a pretty fake. If the gun is made to a high standard with good quality steel which has been hardened and tempered for the purpose and the gun will stand up to many many years of use firing hundreds of thousand cartridges then why not put the real makers name on it ? If you have engraved it why haven't you signed the work with your own name ?

I didn't say or thInk that it was carp but a lot of this is in the mental perception of an item. Del boy would take this piece out on the field and go up to everyone to tell them about how he bought this quality hand crafted best quality item for a tenner from a bloke down the pub. On close inspection you would see that it wasn't the jewel that he thought and that he was a bit of a clown.

Compair the market .... nearly £33 thousand pounds

Or for just a little more there is this for £50,000. notice how plain the Henry Atkin is.

Quality isn't connected to how  much Bling is on something.
