Members triage1998 Posted August 3, 2014 Members Report Posted August 3, 2014 Looking for a fish scale stamp to match the slide serrations on a customers Smith and Wesson 1911 E series pistol. I usually don't do any stamping but wanted to give it a go on this holster. Having a hell of a time finding one to match. Quote
Members Stewart Posted August 4, 2014 Members Report Posted August 4, 2014 This is about so far off ! I would make a Jpeg image of the slide. Crop the image, than import to print master. size image to scale you need ,print and trace. use up a lot of scraps till you like the result. Joe Quote
Members triage1998 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Members Report Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks Joe. If I can't find a stamp that fits my needs by the time my customers order is due I may give that a try. Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted August 8, 2014 Members Report Posted August 8, 2014 I love the carving on that gun. SO COOL. Quote
Members TexasJack Posted August 9, 2014 Members Report Posted August 9, 2014 Sandy "Old Dad" Morrissey made a snake scale stamp for me a few years ago. It doesn't quite match the S&W stamp or I'd lend it to you. Sandy has an amazing amount of experience and talent, and what he did was take a long bolt from the hardware store and simply file the head of the bolt to the shape he wanted. Make sure the bolt is long enough that you don't whack your fingers as you stamp. Takes a bit of patience, but it allows you to make exactly what you need for just a few cents and some sweat. Quote
