I might have gone with Ident, had they never returned phone calls and emails. I got mine done for 1/2 the cost and returned in less than a week.

Ident always returned my emails, fairly quickly at that. Yes it took about a month to have the engraving done, but who cares when you're waiting 6 months on a stamp anyways.

This ain't a safe queen..it's more marks on it than some exposed metal from the engraving. Let's see-$2.95 for the Birchwwod at Wal-Mart. You are right, it's a horrible thing that I did not send it to Ident, pay double and wait a fracking month..at lest it would have been filled in, and that's all that matters...

If you wish to look elsewhere, fine, but Ident is awesome. +1 I don't mind the month wait, now the six month wait for the stamp I do mind. FYI, I contacted a local engraving company and they wanted nearly $100 to do the engraving. And he wanted me to leave it there over the weekend. I found an FFL that does engraving with a CNC machine ... He held my lower for two weeks till he finally told me to come pick it up because he didn't have the time to do it. Ident told me it would take a month to get done when I contacted them, and it was done within a month and they did an excellent job. Next month another lower is going to Ident. I wish I saved myself the time/headache and sent it to Ident right away.

Well I did. Don't matter, got it done faster and for 1/2 the cost. Plus, I did business with someone in my state.
