The Victor Rifle: Part IV Engraving and Carving the steel

In this sequence Jud lays out the detailed metal work with the engraving and detailing including adding moulding to the edges of the lock plate as shown in the final photographs.

An additional enhancement is the gold shading added into the background of the engraved steel parts.

Detailed pictures of the lock show the graceful lines of the cock, the tail of the frizzen, the gold lining of the pan and the gold signature cartoush.
