This is a photo of a very early work in progress model 36 Smith & Wesson that is being fully engraved and rehabilitated. When finished, it will be nickel-plated with inked cuts. Stay tuned for photos of the completed gun!

Ruger Vaquero Bisley
This is a 3/4+ American Scroll engraved Bisley revolver. This is very typical of the coverage and style used on revolvers of the American west. This amount of engraving was one of the more popular options for Colt revolvers. This is a way to personalize your pistol and make it a stand-out at matches. With rifles used in the shoots, it makes them stand-out and allows you to easily recognize your rifle in the rack!

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.
