This is a 1911 in the process of being engraved with full coverage American Scroll. This particular handgun’s engraving will be in tribute to the Texas Rangers!

This is an inexpensive way to dress up your everyday hunting rifle. I can also engrave animals within the design to celebrate a trophy game animal. The basic engraving can be American Scroll, English, Foliat, or Relief Oak Leaf.

This is a small pocket auto relief-carved in full coverage American Scroll. This is an ultra-fancy carry gun! I can do most engraving either as standard engraving or I can do relief carving in the same design.

On my last post, I showed you a Vaquero with full coverage engraving. Here’s one with 50% coverage. In the period of the American West, you’d rarely find a revolver with less than 50% coverage as it would have appeared unfinished. The most common coverages in the American West were 50% – 75% American Scroll.

This revolver features full American Scroll engraving which essentially means that everything is engraved except for the hammer, trigger, and front-sight.

The engraving even wraps entirely around the barrel!

This Colt Single Action Army is engraved in a Colt style of the 60s. It makes for a handsome and slightly different appearance than the more traditional styles of engraving often found on Colts. In any case, it’s a very stylish revolver!

This is a late model lever-action rifle engraved in American Scroll. This rifle features a grizzly bear on one side and a bull elk on the opposing side.

While this isn’t a full-coverage engraving, the gun does feature about 65% coverage. This is a rifle that’s to be used for hunting, not a Safe Queen! However, it’s fancy enough to give you some pretty great bragging rights at hunting camp!

This is a second generation Colt being engraved in a factory pattern. This is the beginnings of the project. I’ll be featuring more photos of this Colt as it progresses.

This is a trigger guard and a buttplate for a 17 HMR rifle. The design is almost Arabesque.

I’ll post more photos as it nears completion.

Here’s the finished product on the Native American themed Vaquero. It also features carved Ivorex grips.
