Where can a guy get his pistol engraved?

This came up a while back, and I dug into a Google Images search of various terms such as "Hand engraving firearms Canada" and came up with a larger number of potential engravers than I thought I would.

Styles and prices vary, I have not used any of them.

Of note, is that the frame, technically, is the only part that is considered to be the actual "Firearm" in the eyes of the Laws. Any other part can be left with pretty much anyone, for work (except, maybe, barrels that are below prohib length, I think, they are a prohibited device on their own) so to get the frame engraved you need to find an engraver that has firearms possession papers that will cover the class involved, IIRC.

Whether an individual engraver will take on gun work though, is up to them. But if you find them by following through from pictures of gun parts or guns, it's probably a good sign.

I live in Sask. Im thinking it would be alot less hassle to get something done in Canada then ship to the states or further abroad.

Thanks
 
There is someone in west center of Sask, but can't remember who it was, a Lady I think.
Maybe that will jog someones memory, mine went south years ago.
 
James Galts, Galts Goldsmith in Calgary does beautiful work. I have 2 handguns and a couple of Kentucky rifles done by him and I believe he has done guns for several Hollywood types making movies in Alberta over the past couple of decades. Check his website for photos.
