Marlin 1881 engraving
This is a Marlin 1881 45-70 with double set triggers.
Bob Swartley has been helping and training me. I am lucky to live only 20 miles from Mr. Swartley. I would like to say that because of Steve's AirGravers the quality of my work has improved. I feel I could not of done near the quality without his air engraver palm control. I really think that in the use of the tools my engraving confidence has increased above my expectations. I also feel that any engraver that has reached a plateau with the older style tools would increase his ability above his expectations with the Lindsay air engraver.

Re: Marlin 1881 engraving
MIke,
 A very fine job indeed. I can see Bob Swartley's influence in your work. Please tell us more about yourself. Are you an occupational engraver? How long have you been at it? Etc., etc.CRB

I definitely like hearing from you. Thanks Mike
