"Sam Kinemuchi who worked for Ken Eyster at Heritage Gunsmiths in Centerburg, OH"

I can't believe I'm hearing that name after all these years! We used to visit Ken Eyster's shop quite a bit when I was in college in the late 1970's. Sam is/was? one of the most talented hand engravers in the world, as far as I'm concerned!

i recently spoke with Jim Eyster, and he doesn't have Sam's contact info, but he believes Sam is alive and in his early eighties.

I know engraved military pieces aren't everyone's cup of tea, but this Erfurt by Sam is exceptionally engraved. I will post pix in a new thread later.
