 What a few of our customers had say.

For the last thirty-five years my life has revolved around engraving. As Colt's custom shop superintendent, I know hundreds of engravers. The name D'Angelo will definitely be discussed in centuries to come in the same conversations as Young, Nimschke, Kornbrath, and Francolini. It is an honor to know you.

Wayne, it it obvious that you are a master of your art. The guns on your site display some of the most beautiful engraving I have ever seen on any gun. Thanks.

Wayne, I wanted to stop in and tell you how much I enjoy viewing your work. I have had some excellent engraving done by other well known engravers, but none of it compares with the high quality work you do.  
-David Pointer

I am a proud owner of some of Wayne's work with more on the way. His passion for his work is evident in his respect for his customers and the quality of his engraving.
