Close up photo of the frame of a Colt Single Action Army engraved in typical American Scroll style engraving. This is the type of engraving that would have been found on Colts from the 1850s – present.

This is a fully engraved Smith & Wesson revolver in American Scroll style featuring a running antelope and antelope tracks. The other side features a grizzly bear head and a grizzly track.
The first two photos show the engraving with the grips off and the other two with the grips on. I always engrave under the grips so no matter what grips are placed, there won’t be any large gaps in the engraving.

When I engrave 50% coverage revolvers, I always engrave under the grip area so, if at a later date, you wish to put on a different grip, you don’t have an unsightly gap in the engraving.
