Nothing *terribly* fancy.. say a wire inlay in metal.
I've done this kinda thing in wood before, and thought it might be kinda neat to try it in steel... maybe even carry a pattern "Sting" wise from grip to receiver (1911).
What would I need to get tools-wise?
Any reference works I should look at?
Thanks!

PS.. if I wanted an aftermarket finish on a pistol, but with wire inlays.. would I first cut the grooves, then send the pistol off to be finished, and then work the wire into the groove when I got it back?
