Hand-chased engraving

By any chance, does anyone here do hand-chased engraving? Or know someone that does?

I need an award plaque recreated for a 1906 dated trophy, in either a silver, brass or even polished aluminium elliptical plaque (approx 70mm wide). Naturally, computer engraved is not going to look kosher.

Any leads appreciated.

All the ones I have spoken to are computer engraved only, or use a vibro-pencil (also not correct). haven't found one yet that uses an engraving chisel and hammer
