A work in progress of an 1860 cartridge conversion revolver. It’s being engraved in the style of Cuno Helfricht, a prolific Colt engraver from 1871 – 1921. This revolver features extremely detailed engraving.

Colt SAA 4th Gen
This is the current edition of the Colt Single Action Army engraved in a Helfricht-style American Scroll. The engraving on this gun is just over 50% coverage. This makes for a very handsome gun without a huge cash outlay. In fact, most of the guns that were engraved during the period of the American West, were between 50 – 75% coverage. You’ll find very few 25% or full coverage engraving on guns during this period.

Custom Mauser 257 Roberts
This Mauser has been engraved in semi-relief carved oak leaves, based on a pattern used by the late, great Pennsylvania gunsmith, Paul Yaeger.
The semi-relief carved oak leaves are generally less expensive to engrave as only the background is removed; the leaves themselves aren’t carved.
This is a lovely quarter bore rifle in the classic Ned Roberts’ caliber of .257 Roberts’.
The rifle is in the process of being finished by Canyon Creek Custom Gunstocks based out of Conner, MT.

World’s Smallest Elephant Gun
Finally completed, here’s the InterArms PPK/S pistol featuring elephants and mammoths! Hence, the world’s smallest elephant gun!
These older InterArms PPK/S’ are among my very favorites of the Walther series of pocket pistols. I like the extended frame with the short slide of the PPK.
In my mind, they are among the best .380 caliber pocket autos ever!

WIP-PPKS WITH ELEPHANTS (PT2)
This is the other side of the PPKS that I posted previously. This side features 3 prehistoric mammoths! Again, each mammoth is less than 1/2″ in height.
Once this pistol is complete, it will certainly be unique. I look forward to posting the completed gun soon!

WIP-PPKS With Elephants
A work in progress PPK/S. The first thing that had to be done was to wipe all of the slide lettering. Then, we had to re-polish to match the original finishing of the gun. The engraving style was matched to a 1911 that I had previously engraved for the same client! See the 1911 here!
