Ken,
The gun with the lions fighting is still in the white, when the engraving is finished it goes back to the makers who then send it for colour hardening, it then comes back to me to polish this off, ink up and then laquering, this is what protects the steel.
The game scene is all 'cut' I don't really scratch or punch anything.

Gary,
Thanks for that good information, my real interest at the moment is alloying gold to produce different colours, i'll chat with you later.

Ron,
The ducks can be inlayed as one, or as two items, it depends on what space you have on a sheet to cut down on the wastage.

Thanks all for your interest.

Phil
