Can anyone point me towards a skilled engraver that can do firearms engraving... not just flat name plaque type engraving? I'd like a revolver cylinder done, maybe even the revolver frame itself too... so gunsmith credentials are probably required since it's a restricted. Thanks.

The further SW in Saskatchewan or SE in Alberta, the better.
 
We had an amazing engraver in Saskatoon but sadly Valadmir passed away from cancer. If your in the area you might want to stop in Piapot and see Dale Freisen, he used to do engraving but I don’t think his hands and eyes are up to it any more. He still gets stuff engraved so he might be able to send you in the right direction. He isn’t online and I don’t this house has an actual address. If drive into piapot and ask where to find Dale they will send you to his house. His house is surrounded by steam engines.
 
a few years ago at the Saskatoon collectors show , I ment a lady from w.c. Sk that did this, but I must have lost the card, she had some steel plates to show her work and it was great work.
I had some work done by Valadmir, a little 45 cal derringer (kit) and a 1911, and some brass plate for a H.D motorcycle.
He did everything by hand , Was trained at CZ (Bruno?) in Cech. I am pretty sure.
Later years he was tied up doing hi end knives for the big name U.S knife makers. He said he could make way more money doing that.
If Dale still does it he also does it by hand , no power, Depends what mood he would be in.
I have a phone 3, but don't feel right giving it out with out talking to him first.
swift Current, Sk. is having a gun show Nov 5-6, and he is always at that one, if you can make it., I will be set up also.
