Thanks Tom for explaining that. I thought the same way Steve did, that the engraving was done first, but wonder if it has to be engraved deeper to take the plating and still show the engraving. I can see where an Ideal Grade, Trap Grade, Skeet and maybe a few others would be easier than the ones with a lot of scroll and birds, dogs, etc. The utility I worked for would sometimes had a shaft chrome plated because it might have been cheaper to do that than make a new one.
