I am trying to find someone ( in UK ) who does engraving or laser etching etc on modelguns / replicas ?

Lots of newer items these days have no authentic markings so I am wondering if anyone has done this - either paid for , or attempted to place realistic trademarks on guns ?

To me I,m not sure which is worse : no markings or wrong markings - both are equally as bad I guess .

Initially I want to get a Sig Sauer p228 full metal airsoft slide correctly marked - then I have various metal pistols I would love to have proper markings .

Has any collectors on here ever gone down this route ?

Be interested to hear how you got on ?

Definitely engrave them if you can as they look so much better, but there are a couple of problems……….

1: The engraving may require the surface to be refinished

2: Some models (Wa Shan) have their own markings that may need to be removed before the correct ones are done.
