They are the "coolest" picks, I ever saw.
I definitely want a pair, or two.
Someone, please say you know the origin!

Wow ... Gary Hogue would have gone nuts for a set of picks like that ... and so would I!

I wish I could identify them, but I've never seen their like before ... but they are definitely the coolest set I've ever seen.

These are old Dunlop picks. Two years ago I bought a set (NOS) from a german online music shop for my friends birthday.

I have been a weatern bright cut engraver for nearly20 years and from looking at the pictures I would say they are definately hand engraved. I don't think any body like Montana silversmiths would go to the expense of tooling up for mass praduction for such a small market, how ever I understand they stamp out flat picks. Having said that I may get ack into engraving and specialize in finger picks.
