The late Bernie Wolf of El Paso, TX, was a Master Engraver in every sense. He produced some of the finest engraved firearms in the US. I have been told that he was once a currency engraver and reportedly was visited regularly by the Treasury Department to see what he was working on after he went into firearms engraving! I had an opportunity to visit him on several occasions and it is unbelievable what he could do. The Colt emblems and lettering that he put on old single actions was so correct that they would almost defy detection by anything other than microscopic examination. He could execute perfect lettering that was so small you needed a magnifying glass to read it. I wish I could have had a firearm engraved by him before he passed away. It is amazing the skill that a gifted individual can possess.
