Lehigh Indian Head Inlay
« on: August 03, 2016, 11:37:02 PM »
I think I'm loosing my marbles.  I remember seeing a Lehigh Indian head inlay thats already engraved, but I cannot remember where.  Does anyone have a clue as to where this could be?  Thanks!

If you check Eric von Aschwege's site (Neahkahnie Flintlocks, click the for sale tab), he sells a pewter "liberty lady". I dont know if you could use it for inlay though??

MBS may show one engraved, but only as an example.  Not sure how you could inlay one and maintain the engraving anyway.

The problem with the Simpsons is that they are too close to a reality program.

Thanks guys.  That's correct, it'd be difficult at best to inlay a pre-engraved part.  I'll probably carve it.  By the way, I work with the human equivalent of Homer Simpson... >:(
