Rigby welcomes skilled engraver to the team

London gunmaker, John Rigby & Co. has taken on a new engraver, James Kulczyk. James comes to Rigby following 15 years of self-employment, during which time he engraved guns for other London gunmakers such as James Purdey & Sons and Holland & Holland.

He specialises in deep carving on guns which is an incredibly rare skill. James explained: “Deep carving is really quite niche but it’s becoming extremely popular amongst modern day buyers. I am extremely proud to be working for such a giant of gunmaking and can’t wait to get stuck in.” Despite having years of experience engraving guns, James originally learnt his craft hand-etching the design for bank notes for countries across the Commonwealth including India and Nigeria

Managing director at Rigby, Marc Newton said: “I am thrilled to have someone as skilled as James now a part of the team. We have extremely high standards at Rigby, but I have full faith in James to not only meet them, but exceed them.” For more information, visit: www.johnrigbyandco.com.
