And this it Vito ‘hiding’…  My eyes are closed so you can’t “see” me…vito hiding

And this is one rifle I don’t think the gent is going to let his wife see… 🙂

It’s an ‘inlay’ on the bottom metal of a 30-06… I asked if it was ‘autobiographical’ and the gunsmith just grinned…

  1. And this is one rifle I don’t think the gent is going to let his wife see…

    Mebbe that IS his wife. 🙂

  2. Well if it were my gun I wouldn’t let anyone see it!

    Nudies are really, really tough to do and if they are not done right you end up with something that looks tasteless and tacky. That one isn’t as bad as some I have seen.

    I wish I could find the link. Years ago I stumbled across the gallery of an engraver whose work was stunning. He did a shotgun that was elegantly engraved and inlaid with the nudes and it was so well done you could even show it to the wife.

    Merging art and soul with weaponry is actually a very difficult proposition.

  3. Buck/Ed- It might be… LOL

    Glen- Very true! The Germans were outstanding at it, and a few Americans were/are that good! Cole Agee comes to mind…

  4. Rick- LOL… That was half the ‘fun”… We used to have a cleaning table out in the back with a nail and water.

  5. What, nobody’s gonna go for the obligatory “You wanna get a good grip on that one!” joke?
