I believe my dad, W.E. "Bill" Lister is worthy of inclusion on the list.
Thanks,

Weldon

Scott..As far as contributors you might consider the late Bob Brownell of Brownell's Gunsmithing Supply who talked James Meek into writing The Art of Engraving. Bob also published the book...just a thought.
Keep up the good work.

Yours truly,
JJ Roberts

@ Sam, thank you! I will buy you a pint next time we meet!

Please add Mr. Johann Singer! I have been lucky enough to be his student for two years and later worked in his studio for four more years. See pictures of one engraving as a proof of his very high level of artistic skill.

I would say you would want to include Greg Darnall. He is a bit and spur maker and has provided me much insight with engraving. He is a TCAA Member and does some amazing work.

Martin, those are beautiful photos, and would make a nice addition to the Gallery! / ~Sam

Scott,

I didn't see some of these names.


Ken Hunt
Jeffrie Gourney - misspelled
Rock Capeac - Belgium
Rene Cousine - Belgium
Thiery Duguet - Terry is the english translation I think, on the list but first name mispelled.
Brunno Barra - Belgium - I think he has quit engraving.
FN Engraving Section closed for years, but they had 160 engravers in 1978 that created all of Browning & FN's wounderful engravings.
Rich Hambrook - Arnold MO - current Browning engraver
Gooser - Germany - Keighoff engraver
Walter Koulach, The only true Mercenairy Engraver I ever meet. Keighoff Crown grade for 1000 bucks or one for 10,000 Same pattern different quality, an unusual attitude. Retired or passed away I don't know.
There are more to come.
I may have listed a few already on the list

Have fun at C.P.
Kurt Horvath

Maybe I missed it some where, but I didn't see Kenny Hunts name.

Oh yes,........... and is the first Tom Turpin listed the one I know, or is it the second Tom Turpin listed? Heeheehee

Kurt H. you're right on and thanks for remembering Walter Koulauch.
A wonderful, warm hearted guy and a real "show me the money" engraver.
Would give you the shirt off his back.
Could produce great artwork when the price was right and also fine production work if that was what was called for.
H&C and fast as lightning, nearly as fast as Angelo Bee but not quite.

Loved your gold BG inlaid floor and heel plates, fantastic work, thanks for sharing.

Best, John B.
