    Personalised AA trigger guard...anyone know an engraver?

    GinB used to do a brass engraved trigger guard. I quite fancy a subtle personalised 'decoration' for my Air Arms Prosport and TX200HC.
    Anyone Know a suitable engraver? Thought this could possibly be done by just simply sending off the part with a suitable photo reference?

    The Prosport and TX200HC have an 'anodised' aluminium guard. I suppose the matt black could be a nice contrast to the shiny 'cut' when engraved - or should i consider Brass or 'natural' aluminum (as per Rowan)?

    Thoughts please....
    [...and i'd quite like to see any pics you might have of similar engraving.....]

    Any local old school jewellers or trophy engravers should be able to sort it for you.




    All the best Mick

    I tried the logical one near me, but both declined on the basis that they wouldn't do deep enough chafing, or know the type of scrollwork. I showed pics of the GinB version, but I think would prefer something a little more 'traditional shotgun' as an approach.

    For a brass trigger guard I used a company called 'Engraving Services' in Leigh-on-sea, Essex. They did an excellent job converting a Googled image into a file and their laser engraving machine did the rest. Very reasonable price too.

    I think this is a link to the picture. https://www.dropbox.com/home?preview=P2120361-1.JPG
    Keen but clueless..
