Recently finished engraving this side plate for a customer.
I think it turned pretty good.

The recipient, T.H. Brady is a direct decendent of Capt. Samuel Brady(1759-1795),a famed frontier scout and the subject of many legends in the history of western Pennsylvania and northeastern Ohio. Capt. Samuel Brady is best known for his remarkable 21 foot jump across a gorge over the Cuyahoga River in 1780 to escape pursuing Indians in what is present day Kent, Ohio. This jump is still remembered as "Brady's leap".
Capt. Brady was only 39 years old when he died.
