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!

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!

This action shows how you can really dress up a single shot action without breaking the bank! The action of this particular gun is engraved in American Scroll which would have been used at the time that this Rolling Block was manufactured.

A nearly full-coverage engraved Charles Daly Shotgun with an extraordinarily ornate foliate design throughout. The engraving wraps around the entirety of the action. It features additional engraving across the trigger guard, fore end iron, as well as across the top strap and the opening lever!

This 12 Gauge Charles Daly Shotgun is an extremely unique 3-barrel! The gun is manufactured on state of the art machinery in Turkey. The quality of Turkey’s current guns are truly astounding in regard to quality and are surprisingly reasonably priced.

I would rate many of their guns as good, if not better, than many of the current offerings out of the rest of Europe.

This particular shotgun’s engraving on the stainless receiver has been inked to make the work truly stand out.

This Smith & Wesson 57-6 is 3/4 covered with American Scroll engraving. This particular handgun also features a full Grizzly Bear on the frame. The 41 magnum Smith & Wesson’s were championed, and had design input from the famous author and Border Patrolman, Bill Jordan.

Bill Jordan’s book, No Second Place Winner, is still considered a must-read by aficionados of fast six-gun shooters. He believed that the Model 57 was the best large-frame revolver for policework. He brought additional fame to the Model 19 as a police firearm.

The engraving on this Model 57 represents a classic style for both Smith & Wesson and Colt double action revolvers.

This custom Ruger is very unique! Built by Jack Huntington of JRH Advanced Gunsmithing, this is a smaller Ruger single action frame. It’s been made into a custom 5-shot, 10mm revolver! This made for a slick little carry pistol in places where bear encounters could be expected.

The gun features 50%+ American Scroll-style engraving.

As always, American Scroll looks great on single action revolvers. Whether you’ve got a modern handgun or even an antique, American Scroll can really add class to an already great revolver.

If you’re looking for a way to class up your handgun, this is a great way to do it without breaking the bank!

Full coverage American Scroll engraving on a Les Baer 1911, 10mm pistol. These are among the top handguns in the 1911 field! American Scroll-style engraving is a classic choice for a classic rendition of John Browning’s masterpiece!

I could engrave any pattern or design that you’d like. Examples include English Scroll, relief-carved oak leaves, or designs similar to the Browning Renaissance styles.

I often find that the boldness of American Scroll looks best on the big old slab-side 1911 autos.

For other examples of my engraving on 1911s, take a look at this Ruger 1911 Slide and this Springfield Armory 1911.

This slide is engraved in American Scroll with a stippled background to bring out the intricacy of the cuts. The cuts were then inked to really make them pop. Inking is a great idea for stainless guns to bring out the detail work.

This customer only wanted the slide engraved so it was a relatively inexpensive way to add some custom charm to this everyday carry gun.

Take a look at some of my other Walther PPK-S work here and here to get some ideas for your own carry pistol.

This is a recent work of mine featuring approximately 50% coverage on a Browning Citori shotgun. The engraving is done in the American Scroll style and is set up to highlight the golden Browning logo in the center of the action.

In this particular case, the cuts were left bright at the request of the customer. I can also ink the cuts for those who prefer their engraving to pop!

The Citori is an outgrowth of the classic Browning superposed over-and-under shotgun. It’s a much more modern design which features a lower barrel access than the previous Browning over-and-unders.

It features a versatile action that can be used on both field and target guns.

It makes for an extremely fast handling and lightweight shotgun.

American Scroll engraving dates back to the 1850s and is based on earlier Germanic scrollwork. This particular style was made popular in the United States by such engravers as Nimschke, Gustave Young, and the Ulrich Clan.

Here’s a shotgun that’s a little different from what I’ve been working on recently. It’s a lever-action 410 that features American Scroll style engraving with a hunter, pointer hound, and a pheasant on one side. The off-side features American Scroll style engraving and a Ruffed Grouse.

The butt-plate also features the client’s ranch brand as a nice personalized touch.

The engraving really dresses up this little shotgun! The cuts on the brass frame are inked to make the engraving really pop!

Engraving such as this really adds character to the body of the gun without breaking the bank. This coverage would run anywhere from the $500 – $600 range.
