Thanks No laser all by hand I drew the design right on the gun to kinda fit the age of the gun. wonce I had it layed out I start cutting with a little chisel by hand. then I had it blued then I use muratic acid to remove the blue on the scrolls. If you look close you can see the tap marks in the scrolls from the chisel.
