Skeet,
Did the grips yesterday evening with India Ink. The smith that did this before, that I helped with the handgun, said he wiped the grips off with a soft rag. Well, once I saw that the ink wiped off, sorta, but left a light black smear around the engraving I realized a 500 grit buffing wheel was in order. So, luckily I have such a critter. When finished with the very light application I also realized that the look I saw on his grips was after he had buffed them. I also recalled that he would not exactly tell you all of what he did, all the time.
That is OK though, I got even. He was not a 1911 smith. He could not get a 1911 to perform, so he went off to pick up the son at school. I fixed the gun, sat it in the middle of his bench and put a full mag of empty cases on top. Locked up his shop and left! He called, "What did you do to this gun?" I would not tell him for a year. Just a little funny for your day.
