I like that style as well, although maybe it's a bit overdone on that particular revolver.
The Italian style I was talking about is "bulino", a pictorial style made by many tiny punched dots as in this example.
Although this is a very pretty example of it, the style in general just doesn't turn me on! Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I talked to an engraver, Brian Powley, a couple OGCA shows when we had a special engraver's display--about 15-20 came and showed their wares. He called the type I like, which he on display, "American." I need to get a book. I have seen the type I specifically like best called "banknote," but which might be a subset of American engraving. Lots of florals with some deep shading, but I wouldn't get full coverage. I wouldn't get any game scenes either. Just the banknote style with perhaps my name or initials, or some meaningful identifier like that. A real quickie Google search showed this as something like what I see as banknote style. Perhsps Elmer has some comments on this:
