    The Engraver's Guild I referred to is actually the Firearms
    Engraver's Guild of America - which has a site - fega.com. Although
    anyone can join and participate at the general level, there is a
    requirement that you must have a Federal Firearms License in order
    to be considered for "professional" membership. 

    They are a great group and worth joining if only for the information
    and help that they offer all hand engravers. There is a forum where
    you can ask any question that you may have on hand engraving (not
    stone setting) - and a tips notebook that comes with membership that
    is well worth the price of general membership - which is $50
    yearly... 

    There is a show held every year at the end of January in Reno, held
    in conjunction with a knifemakers show and Safari Club
    International. You can see some of the best of the best hand
    engraving in the world at this show. I have been a member for around
    8 years now, and have taken workshops and seminars in California,
    Nevada, and Colorado from some pretty incredible members who teach.
    Eric Gold, Sam Welch, Christian DeCamillus, and John Barraclough
    come to mind, and I'm sure there were more. Go check out the site!
