Engraving recommendation?

Boomerang
OK here is the plan. I have finally decided to own an engraved gun. After doing some research on engraving from topic I posted earlier this month I have decided to have one of my guns engraved. Since this group helped in my quest to understand engraving styles and levels, I thought I would seek your recommendations as to the engraver to use and which gun to have engraved. Of the guns I own, the two that I think would make the best candidate for engraving are a Freedom Arms 83 in .475 Linebaugh, and a Marlin 1895 Limited V in .45-70.

So my learned colleagues, which of the two guns noted above would you recommend to be engraved, and which engraver would you use and why?

    You've caught me at a bad time. We just moved and I have no idea where to locate my business card collection.

    I've had Ernie Peck out of Manhattan Ks. do some work for me and Paul Fitzgerald of Rose Hill Designs also. I don't recall which city Paul is located in. Somewhere back east IIRC. Pennsylvania maybe.

    Ernie did the delicate rose vine engraving engraving on my octagon barreled 264 Mauser and it was im-Peck-able.

    Paul has cut caliber designations on a few for me (I don't like stampings) as well as cutting a clients signature in the receiver sidewall on a Mauser build.

    Wish I could give you their phone numbers, but it would take forever to find their cards.
