This is a very elegant American Scroll engraved Colt in approximately 3/4 coverage. It features an in-the-white metal with inked cuts. This is an unusual revolver, one that wasn’t produced for long so reproductions are the only ones that make for decent engraving candidates.
his revolver also features an engraved eagle on the hammer.
I’m often asked the question as to the difference between bright and inked cuts! These pictures will show the difference. It’s a matter of personal taste as to whether one darkens, or inks, a cut or leaves it bright.
The advantage of inking a cut, as a general rule, will make the engraving pop from the background. Most people tend to prefer inked cuts as it creates the illusion of depth.

This Walther PPK/S is fully engraved in American Scroll and features an Eagle Scout theme throughout. It features 5 American Bald Eagles and the Boy Scouts of America badge. This makes for a very handsome carry and/or display piece to commemorate gaining the rank of Eagle Scout!
This pistol would look equally nice in a holster or a glass-front display case.
This was a fairly rough Colt automatic with lots of minor pitting. The owner wanted it dressed up with period scroll. We covered as much pitting as his budget would allow. This turned a gray-pitted pistol into a nice looking period pocket pistol. The work done now makes this automatic look as a nicely maintained pistol from the 1920s.
This beautiful revolver features full-coverage period American Scroll engraving. It also has antique ivory grips! This particular revolver is from the estate of Jerry Crandall, renowned western and aviation artist.
The revolver comes with a letter of authenticity from his widow, the original box, but no papers. It appears to be un-fired!
