•    Colt Patterson Replica   

    This revolver features silver-plated bands and period style engraving. This would make for a very nice handgun for either display or use at rendezvous.

  •    Cattle Brand Colt SAA   

    This is a Colt revolver that features 69 prominent cattle brands from throughout the state of Montana. This has the look of a period-engraved Colt. The brands add a real western flair to the revolver. This pistol harkens back to the cattle brand engraved Colts of Cole Agee.

    This handgun would be a real standout at a cowboy shoot or at a gun show. There aren’t a lot of cattle brand guns out there so, they really stand out in any display of engraved handguns.

    I can do a similar gun for you featuring your own brands or brands from your area!

    This gun includes a blued trigger, screws, and cylinder pin and a case-hardened hammer. Many of the Colt nickel-plated guns were finished in this manner.

  •    Semi-English Trigger Guard   

    This trigger guard and floorplate assembly is engraved in a semi-english style. It’s not typical American Scroll, but not as tight as true English scroll. This makes for a handsome, yet slightly different engraving effect!

  •    Floorplate & Grip Caps   

    This is an inexpensive way to enhance or personalize your rifle! These are engraved in American Scroll and make a great addition to any firearm. Floorplates and grip caps can be engraved at a very reasonable cost. I can also add animals or initials for an added personal touch to your firearm.

  •    Montana Brand Colt (In Progress)   

    This is a first generation Colt that features prominent Montana ranch brands. It will be nickel-plated with high polish blue screws and small parts.

    This will be a very unique pistol. Colt’s featuring brands were very popular in the 1920s so this SAA harkens back to those times and will be a true standout revolver at any cowboy shoot or gun show, for sure!

  •    Customer Photo – PPKS   

    Here’s a photo from my customer of his PPK/S. It will be an heirloom piece for his family! I’m often asked whether people should put their names or identifying features on their guns; if it’s to be an heirloom, by all means, add the information!

    If your plan is to sell the gun at a later date, I feel that you’re often better off to leave personal names, initials, etc. off of the gun.

  •    Custom Remington Rollingblock   

    This is a Rollingblock engraved in a semi-English style. It makes for a very elegant gun without a lot of coverage! This is going to be a custom hunting rifle to be used worldwide!

  •    PPK-S With Tank   

    This is a relief-carved stainless PPK/S Walther that I engraved for a customer who was a tanker in Germany in the 60s. Along with the relief-carved oak leaves I was able to engrave a close up of the M60 A3 tank that he commanded in Germany! The engraved tank is less than half an inch tall!

  •    Custom 98 Mauser   

    This is a beautiful yet simple rifle engraved in a semi-English style. It evokes English rifles used in Africa in the 1900s.

    Rifles of this particular caliber would have been used for plains game hunting, lions, and leopards.

    The checkering is by Mary Ann Hockenbury, a local of the Bitterroot Valley.

  •    1881 Marlin   

    I engraved this 1881 Marlin rifle to recreate a factory pattern that was common to the rifle. The original was done by Conrad F Ulrich, he was the Marlin factory engraver from 1881 to 1907. C. F. Ulrich was part of the Ulrich Firearms engraving dynasty which stretched for nearly a century from the 1850s until 1949.

    The animals on this particular pattern all appear to have been done in a “folk-art” style and includes deer, bear, & bison.

    Over the years we have recreated many historic patterns on a wide variety of firearms.
