Re: Hello from Southeast Arizona
You are fortunate to have a gun engraved by Hunt Turner. He was a fine fellow, skilled engraver and an early member of FEGA. It would be a service to the forum for you to post pictures of your engraved gun though I realize it is quite difficult to get good pictures of engraved revolvers beacuse of all the rounded surfaces and various depths of field.
You are right that lots of engravers are or were law enforcement officers. I don't know what the connection is but maybe we would like to have more to show for our lives than a stack of reports and a bunch of crooks in jail.
Engravers, Hugo Galante, Pete Geiger and I were all deputies on the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Dept. in California. There are many more from around the country.
