I've sourced an engraver. I just need to find the files for S&W. Particularly for the 686. Thank you!

As BigStew said, finding roll marks is hard enough as is for common rifles. You'll need to either draw up the markings yourself by looking at references or get somebody to do it for you. There's some nice clear images of the markings at least;
I know from experience Joe at "West Lasers" will draw up designs for you for a small cost.

The round S&W logo is, the rest of it is pretty bog standard font for stamping marks.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smith_&_Wesson_logo_from_.357_Model_686_Plus.png could easily be converted to a vector file too.

Or you can download the eps file directly from S&W themselves https://store.smith-wesson.com/comp...3V9AQrQT4Nh9eQAPuk25LvHzeKtynWq5suDsaBKmTc4yY

I used to do a lot of custom painting on bikes and helmets, so you learn where to find logo downloads for stencil cutters!
This is where specialist knowledge comes together for the the greater good.
