Hi John,

Sorry, I misunderstood you. For engraving I would try a local gunsmith. If they can't do, they will know someone who can. I have seen a lot of old time slices that have their info etched on them and only a few that have been engraved. I think either way would be great to and some "classic" gravitas to an iron.

Thanks,

Peter

Peter, All,
Sorry if I'm not being clear.

Really what my buddy is looking for is someone who can engrave neatly onto an iron slice. Preferrably with a machine of sorts designed for the purpose of engraving.

Thanks though for the knowledge.
I appreciate your time responding. :-)
John
