British Military Store & Gifts have been small family business operating since 2009 from Peterborough UK, created by John Donaldson who processes and engraves orders on a daily basis whilst his son Ian maintains the website and helps out with engraving and orders when needed. We use various techniques for our engraving depending on the item, generally metal items will be engraved by a diamond tipped engraving machine, we find this gives the best possible engraving detail for hip flasks, lighters and more. For glassware we use a sand blasting technique, whilst we could use the diamond tipped engraving machine we find the best result comes from sand blasting. The lines are nice and clear and leaves a beautiful finish.
