Custom Engraving and Scrimshaw

Artist

Hello!
And Welcome To My Me Page!

I Hope I Can Be Of Service To You!

PLEASE READ COMPLETELY!!!!

( My Feedback Abuser List will Be At Bottom )

I have Been In Business Going On 20 Years As A Full Time

Engraver and Scrimshaw Artist.

All My Works Are Done By Hand

And NO! Laser Engraving!

My Prices Are The Best You'll Fine Either On Ebay, My E-Bay Store or My Retail Web Site!

So Don't Insult By Asking For Another

Discount!

I Ship To USA Customers ONLY!

NO SALES OUTSIDE THE USA!

You'll Also See My Postage Cost Is Still One Of The Lowest Since Increase! 

Also The High Cost Of Fuel and Packaging Supplies Called For A Small Increase. 

Includes Comfirmation Number.

This Comfirmation Number Only Shows Proof As To When I Ship To Customer and When It Was Delivered In The USA Only!

I Do Combine S/H Charges if more than one item is purchased.

If 3 or more items are purchased, It's Free Shipping!

I Will Not Be Held Responsiable

If Items are Lost Or Stolen In Shipment WITHOUT INSURANCE! And This Also Goes For Return Items Also!

I Accept Returns For Replacement Of The Same Item If Damaged In Shipping Only and Refunds Of The Price of the item excluding Shipping Charges & Restocking Fees If

"Not Damaged!"

Restocking Fee Is $6.00 Per Item. This Restocking Fee Is For Packaging Cost, Insertion Fees, Postage & High Fuel Cost.

I Do Gunshows, and Instruction Throughout The Country and I Leave Out For Trips On Weekends and Return To Shop Monday Nights or Early Tuesdays. So 90% Of The Deliveries will be shipped out on a

Wednesday or Thursday.

So Don't Freak Out!

I Don't E-mail Buyers Upon Shipping

Or Tracking Numbers or Updates etc.

I Include USPS Comfirmation Number In My already LOW Shipping Charges as Proof Of Shipment and Preventing Dishonest Claims!

If you don't purchase Insurance, Don't expect me to be Responsiable for lost or Stolen Items In Shipping As I Have Already Mention!

At Times and During Holidays, Shipments May Be Delayed?

But All You Have To Do Is Read My FeedBacks To See Most Mention The Fast Deliveries Etc.

But Most Are Shipped Well Within A 5 day Period.

At Times I May Have To Make or Scrimshaw A set Of Grips To Order.

So  Be Patient if delivery seems a little long. I have Also seen USPS Take as long as 2 weeks For Delivery! Not My Faught!

It Can Be Very Frustrating, But There's Nothing I can Do About USPS Deliveries etc.

Most If Not All Of My Grips Will Fit Very Nicely!

I Fit Them To My Guns & Frames

For A Proper Fitting.

BUT! There Are Some That May Require Some Fitting On Your Part?

What Fits To My Frames May Not Be The Same For Yours?

Colt Single Action Revolvers Will & Can Require Extensive Fitting As Most Colt SAA Owners Know.

Grips Come With All Brass Hardware or Escutcheons and Screws Unless

Noted In A Grip Description?

And All Frame Guide Holes Are Done!

These are Not Factory Grips and Will Not Fit as the Orginals! No Aftermarket Grips Will Fit As Such?

Some recent Negative Feedbacks are a result from People who were expecting Seamless  Perfect results from aftermarket grips. Not even the originals are Perfect!

TAKE NOTE!

Know Your Weapon! Know Your Model! Know Your Frames!

Before Bidding!!!!

If Not Sure? Ask Your Gun Dealer.

Before Bidding!!! Not Me!

I Am Not A Gunsmith! And I don't have Your Gun In Hand!

I Cannot and Will Not Be Responsiable For Buyers Lack Of Knowledge Of There Weapons, Color Choices, Art Designs, Damage Due To Carelessness, ORDER OF WRONG GRIPS! And A Varity Of Other Reasons Including the defacing or Sanding or Machine work done by Buyers To My Product!

All Items are Sold New and As Is!

My Description Of The Items That Are Up For Bids Are Correct and With A Photo For Comparison Only! Not The Actual Photo! Some Colors May Vary from Actual Photo. Actual Grips will not be the Actual Photo!

  So Read The Description Before Bidding!

My 2nd To Real Look Of Stag Grips Are All Hand Cut and Colored and No Two Will Be The Same! The Photo Again Is Just For Reference But Will Be Very Close.

Ruger Owners!!!

Ruger Owners Know That Models From 1962 to 2004 are for the XR3 Red Frames Only!!! Also For The Vaquero, BlackHawk, Single Six, Old Army and The Super Black Hawk with the 4 1/2 to 6 1/2" Barrel Lengths and The Rounded Trigger Guards.

( Not The Square Trigger Guard! ) 

The New Model XR3 Vaquero Frame Started in 2005 Models With Starting Serial Number 510 or the 50th Anniversary Model with Serial Number Starting at 520 that came with the New Inter Lock feature In The Grip Frame. So Order The 2005 Models! Not The XR3 Red Frame!

The New 2007 Models New Model Blackhawks & New Model Single Six Gripframes come with the Black Plastic Grips, Lockable Grips Frame & A Ruger Model Some With Serial Numbers Ending In The Letter "L"

I Also Make Super BlackHawks with The Square Trigger Guard and 7 1/2 to 10" Barrel Lenghts Only!

The Ruger Super Single Six .32 H&R Magnum I do not Make.

KNOW THIS BEFORE BIDDING!!!

The Ivory Polymer Grips Are NOT Pure Milk White In Color! They Have A Cream Color and Will Age As Real Ivory Does In Time.

No Returns or Exchanges Because Of Colors, Size or Thickness Issues!

The Checkered Grips Are Not Hand Checkered Grips! They are A Poured Polymer Grips Into A Rubber Mold And Won't Be As Crisp As Hand Checkered! But Nice Nevertheless!Only Returns For Exchange For The Same Model Grips and ONLY If Damaged In Transit/Shipping &

With Proof From Shipper!

I Have Had VERY FEW Bad Feedbacks From A Very Few

@#$&%$ Buyers Who Seem To Think Am Suppose To Know What They Have On There End or Wants!

Or Expect $400+ Dollar Ivory grips compare to my Very Reasonable Prices!

And Are @#%$ About It!

I Am Not A Gunsmith!

All Of My Products Are

New and As Is! And Are Fitted To My Frames and Weapons For Proper Fitting. Oversized/Large Target Grips will have a SEAM at where they meet on the Frame! They all do! My Material Is Some Of The Best On The Market and This Material Will Age As Real Ivory Does and Evenly!

Sorry To Be This Way, But Some

Have Forced This To Be So.

Have Had Very Few Bad FeedBacks

From Buyers Who Were Dirty and Dishonest or just plain Stupid! See My Bad FeedBacks and I believe You'll See Why.

Had one Guy actually Sanded his grips down because of pitting as he said to the point of a bad fit and wanted me to replace for a New Set! Rude & Foul E-mails followed,

Lots Of Them!

Had another buyer said grips broke into 2 pieces without putting on gun and Sent Me back grips Made by Some Other Maker! What Gall! Left Me Negative Feedback Because I would Not Replace!

Also with Extreme Foul & Rude

E-mails!

These Were Recent Feedback Abusers!

A very recent Buyer left me a Negative FB Without Contacting me for a replacement because there was a Seam at where the grips meet on the frame!!! I still gouldn't had make him happy because they all have the seams! You just can't Fix Stupid!

If Am Wrong, I'll Make it Right!

But Don't Lie and Be Dishonest!

And I Have To Say It...Stupid!

Like I said, I've Been Doing This A Long Time and I know My Product and My Materials I Use!

My Good Feedbacks and as you would see, Many Repeat Customers, Speak For Themselves!

My Scrimshaw Is Hand Done By Me

And I Sign and Date All My Works!

My Works Are Or Have Been Copyright!

My Works Are Not Lasered Or Molded Or Just Painted On!

The Grip Material Is A Ivory Polymer

Material Without So Called Real Ivory Dust In The Mix. No Such Thing!

But My Material That I Mix Myself Will Age Very Nicely and Evenly!

No 2 Sets will Be The Exact Same?

In Other Words, Not A Milk White Color! And Again, Color may Vary From Set To Set? But Not By Much If Any?

Some will Have That Pitted Look Also at times for that more real look of Ivory or Bone. I make the Grips from a Rubber Mold Made From The Original Grips As Models and are The Standard Sizes and Thickness etc.

I Have A Little Trick Of The Trade For My 2nd To The Real Look Of Stag

Grips! Natural Colors! Not Just One Black Color As Others Do!

I Want To Thankyou Again For Your Attention and Your Business!

I Look Forward To Being Of Service!

From A Vietnam Era Veteran,

Keep Your Prayers and Support

For Our Brave and Honorable

Men and Women

Of Our Armed Services!

God Bless You And Keep You Safe.

Stay The Course!

You Are Already Heros!

My Most Recent Feedback Abusers!

This is My Way of Explaining the Truth of Negative Feedbacks!

And My Right Of Free Speech Under The United States Constitution!

If Am Wrong and Problem Was Taken Care Of, No Negative Feedback Should or should have Been Given! I Believe all one Has to do is Read the Negative Feedback & The Neutrals and Most Common Sense People ( Ebay ) Will See The Buyers Intent and Lack Of Knowlege Of There Weapon, Being Stupid/Childish/Revengeful or Whatever there Reasoning etc. And Can Also Read My Positive Feedbacks of the Same Item Elsewhere with Very Statisfied Customers! Not To Mention My MANY Repeat Buyers!

Full Ebay Name will not be given According Ebay Policy.

G.....y13; ( 5/31/08 ) Order the Wrong model grips. Ordered Colt 1911  Full size grips for the Para Ordance P-14! Said They wouldn't Fit!  ( I just can't understand Why They Didn't Fit ! ) Buyer Said Was Not going to return grips back because He Didn't want to pay the return S/H Charges! But! Wanted a Refund and or a New Set That would fit! I of Course Refused This Grazy Demand, Especially Without The Return Of The Other Set ! E-mail me with Name Calling And of Course, A Negative Feedback.This is the First/Recent Negative Feedback since the New Buyers Feedback Abuser Tool was Started. And this is my way of explaining the Truth!  Have Added This Abuser To The Block Bidders List,  as have others!

St...and...6070  ( 6/17/08 )  Emailed me saying grips didn't fit well and what He Thought was a Repaired set of grips. I asked him to send back and I would replace with another set. Instead, decided to leave a Neutral Feedback and His Grading Opinion??? I have sold 100's of this Model grips without any problems and Yes, At A Very Good Price and Low Shipping Charges! Thats What Ebay Is Suppose To Be About! I really Need a Rookie Ebayer/Gunowner Opinion as to my product and Pricing. I tried to help this buyer and replacement. But I guess he thought this was better To leave a Neutral. Bid Blocked!

ri.....ux  ( 6/19/08 )  This Is Starting to get Old! Of Course this buyer didn't Read This MePage! This Guy left me 2 Neutrals BECAUSE!.... I didn't answer his Email Concerning Combine Shipping Charges! How Childish. I answer a couple 100 e-mails a week! I DID combine the S/H with One $4 Charge instead of a $8.00 Charge. Not to even mention the FACT that I already Have One Of The Lowest S/H Charges!!!! This is a Prime example of Feedback Abuse and Not understanding the Feedback Purpose!  Or Not Getting What Buyers Want! Boo Hoo! Thanks again E-bay! The New Buyers Feedback Abuser Tool Seems To Be Working Well!  Bid Blocked!

win....54  ( 6/24/08 )  It's Only going to worse with these Liars and Cheats and the New Buyers Feedback Abuser Tool. This Buyer bidded and won 2 separate items. Payed the first item and refused to pay for second item. Said was a mistake and his bad. Said I was trying to force him to buy 2 sets that he didn't want. So he leaves me 2 Separate Negative FB's and one for The Very  Item he didn't even pay for or Recieved!!! Oh Yea...Buyer has only 2 FB's. I reported this to Ebay like it's going to do any good...But all I can do is try. I guess I can Take some satisfaction that he has a non payment strike against him now. Bid Blocked This Guy! Followup to this Buyers Followup! I Think everyone can see through this Ebay Thief & Liar! And Feedback Abuser!

west...........butions ( 6/26/08 ) Had A problem with fitting a set of COLT 1911's??? How Hard Is That? Instead of Contacting me with his problem and for Exchange. Buyer Elected to leave a Neutral Feedback!  Again, No Contact Was Made! Another Rookie Yellow Star Buyer who Just Seems Not To Get it or Understand or Read Instructions or Policies! And He Owns a Gun?   Bid Blocked!

Cust...Hatter ( 10/20/08 ) Another Buyer who didn't contact me for return for replacement. Choose to leave a Neutral instead. Have sold 100's of this Same item and Recently! You just can't Please Everyone!

TAK..ET (10/25/08)  What is it with these Newbe Ebayers! Can't they Read Instructions or Descriptions and Return Polices! Made NO Contact with me for a replacement for grips He says didn't fit??? I have sold 100's of this same item. You just can't fix Stupid! Bid Blocked as well have others!

lacy.19  (12/14/08)  Another Neutral FB, That Makes No Sense At All! Read it and you Tell Me! And Ebay say we as Sellers Can't Leave an Honest Feedback! Not Even A Neutral That Makes Sense! I put a Bid Block Just For The Stupity Of The FB! And I add That This Rookie Ebayer Did Not Make Contact with Me with his concerns Either!

rboh...11  ( 1/4/09 ) Here's Another Rookie Who Didn't Read My MePage Nor Understanding Deliveries On HOLIDAY WEEKENDS!!! Or The Feedback System For Lack Of A Better Word! Buyer Won This Item On The 25th Of December! Buyer Payed On The 26th! I shipped on the 29th Monday! Buyer gets His Item Delivered on the 31st! So Buyer Leaves A Neutral Feedback Because Delivery Took Long! Took To Long My Butt! And My Only Option is To Bid Block This Cry Baby That doesn't Understand that we Sellers Have the Chrismas Holidays Also! Merry Christmas Everone! You To rboh...11!

oneeye....sell  ( 1/5/09 )   This buyer Says his item was not Delivered? So he leaves me a Neutral FB even after I Provided buyer with USPS Comfirmation # 0306 0320 0003 8865 1797 that proved this item was delivered! Just another example of Of FeedBack Abuse to the Seller! Thanks Again Ebay, I even asked this Buyer to retrack his Feedback! This Buyer By The way had only one Feedback to his credit. Will Bid Block this Guy!

gasnavi..08 ( 5/9/09 ) This buyer leaves me 2 Negatives for items he claims... he or she didn't recieve? And also said I wouldn't answer his emails he claims he sent to me? I answer all Emails and all Ebay Emails sent by Ebayers! The US Customs Number was #LC898933709US. I have Blocked this %@&#! and I will No Longer sell to Overseas Buyers outside this Great Country Of Mine, The USA! His Feedbacks Show 100%! I just wonder how many Dishonest Negatives He has Left for the Sellers! Thanks Again Ebay! That Buyers Negative Feedback Tool Is Working out just fine...For The Dishonest Buyers! Sooo  Unfair!

anthlondono1  (6/25/09) Watch This Loser and Thief! Bid Block This Buyer or I should Say Yellow Star Non Payer! I wrote this one up because his response was He Didn't Give A Damn! Thanks again Ebay for all these Non Payers That The Sellers Use To Be Able To Weed Out with a Negative Feedback!

leven...lady4601 ( 7/24/09 ) Recieved 2 Neutrals from this buyer who had issues with fitting to her frames? Gave instructions on how they should be fitted and even gave a great Web site on how to do so! So am assuming this person Gouldn't do the work and Decides to blame me... of course.  Like I have said, I fit them to my Frames before shipping and they fit My Frames Just Fine! ( BOTH SETS Did! ) I just can't say that for YOUR FRAMES! Some Fitting may be required on Your Part as I state in my MePage! But Most New Yellow Star Rookies & Rookie Gun Owners Are Like This? Oh Well!
