A 12-bore example of the Grifnée engraved Flight of Holland & Hollands.
Grifnée is largely considered one of the world’s finest engravers who left the firearms community far too soon when he passed away in May 2012 at the young age of 59, making his work now priceless. After receiving his instruction at the internationally acclaimed engraving program at L’Ecole d’Armurerie de Liege under the hand of Rene Delcour, he graduated in 1970 and further honed his craft with Auguste Francotte. He instructed for several prestigious engraving institutions such as the Grand Masters Program at the GRS Training Center in Emporia, Kansas before returning to his former school to teach, the latter of which posthumously named a room in his honor.
