I did go ahead and had ENGINE 32 engraved.
Michael Gouse again, lot of little details that the camera lens just a=can not capture. Little engraved hoses and firemen tools, of course the firetruck on the slide. Red ink and Paul's Red grips.

Thank you.
I believe the engraver has fun doing my theme based pistols. He is so into it he is giving me suggestions. He is talented and I enjoy working with him.

I have yet to see a Rohrbaugh engraved.

Thank you, thank you very much!

Seriously I thank you, but it was just an idea, a concept brought to life by the engraver.
You on the other hand have something to be proud of, a pistol that is part of your family. I was thinking of that just today on my ride to the race track, your pistol is a theme of your family, mine are merely engraved.

I do feel this one is part of the family and will go to one of my sons.  Nevertheless, your  concepts are really unique, and those pistols will be cherished by some lucky owner for many years.  Now google your family name and build one for yourself!
