Domingos Joaquim, Master Engraver at one of our recent Saratoga Springs, NY NEACA Arms Fairs.

Here, DJ is working on a double barrel receiver, applying an outline of a Pointer on a bird.  Some simple jobs can be completed at the show if brought in early or call to schedule a consultation on more elaborate work.  DJ worked on many tedious projects while at Smith & Wesson Company and his artistic talents adorn guns in many celebrity collections such as those of Hank Williams, Jr. and Ted Nugent. Now, you too can have your own firearm upgraded to a work of art.

Domingos is executing scrollwork on this Smith & Wesson revolver which would be classed as one-third coverage. This is the raw work that then has to be cleaned of sharp edges and finished smooth. This is a basic upgrade of a used firearm that could cover pits or wear and make something unattractive into a presentable classic engraved gun.

DJ now lives in the northern New York Adirondacks and will displaying his art at some of our NEACA Arms Fairs within his easy driving distance.  If you would like to have any work done please contact me at our shop or thru our e-mail. We can give you ideas of what can be done and at what cost. If you would like to have artwork performed on a paper outline of your gun prior to any work performed that also can be done and presented. Gold inlays, either outlines or raised artwork can make an heirloom out of your current plain gun or we can also order something new and work to create a presentation grade firearm for yourself, a client or family investment.

Notice on this particular revolver the stocks have also seen the beginning of some custom work.

Whatever you may have in mind can probably be accomplished.

From simple to elaborate, we can transform your firearm to an exquisite work of art.

Though this is an actual antique firearm with period engraving the photo shows a fine example of the old art of engraving.

Turn one of your plain firearms into an item that can be treasured and passed down through future family generations.
