...paul (originally from lithuania) is the head engraver of ruger's new 'custom' division...his artwork was on display at the recent sci-reno convention (rsm, 1-h and vaquero)...

...paul says that the best engravers are without a doubt italian bulino-style artists...he also likes brit engravers (ken hunt, the brothers, etc.) and german engravers...he says that stateside engravers have a way to go in this area...

...on the last point, i would say that your artwork and the artwork of others such as winston churchill may cause him to reflect on that point...
