You can tell them exactly what you want and they will do it there and then. In any font you like. You can get covers that are black on top with a white layer underneath so the lettering will show through in white. or a white cover giving black lettering. cheers Dave

	derekoftheold97 says: 1/27/2014 12:59:07 PM Yes Eddie. It is the standard one I think. White sandwiched in black. When she engraved the black, the white showed through. I picked a thick line, in hind-sight i think thinner would have been better. You get to choose.

	alfiedog says: 1/29/2014 2:52:34 PM Got em done at Timpsons, but not cheap cost me £17.80 for two cover's.
