Only Engraving Makes Something Special <\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you watch the news or follow any National Geographic-type channels, you\u2019ll notice that now and then, an engraved sword or helmet, or another weapon or objet d\u2019art<\/em> is dug up. It\u2019s a remarkable testament to how engraving<\/a> can still tell us exactly what it told others thousands of years ago despite the ravages of time. Small wonder that this artful practice has persisted from ancient times, as it remains one of the most durable inscription techniques around. Small wonder too, that we tend to engrave those items most precious and most emblematic of our lasting success \uff0d the trophies and medals we award to others and collect ourselves.<\/p>\n

Especially with the bespoke alloys and finishes available in modern trophies (to not even mention the sandblasting and inscription techniques rendered in glass), engraving<\/a> has been refined and improved. When we keep digging up engraved objects that are thousands of years old, it\u2019s not hard to understand that engraving is a major preserver of legacy, in one way or another. In a very real sense, each engraved trophy, plaque or medal awarded to others is a unique object, as it will carry a name and time that is unique to that person\u2019s achievement. Sure, The Comrades Marathon awards generic medals, but when thousands gather to race each year, we can forgive them! Even with a generic Comrades medal, the emblem and coin impression is a special, decidedly Comrades symbol.<\/p>\n
