This Colt is full coverage American Scroll engraving with a Texas Ranger theme.

This was straight from the Colt factory with a blank slide which added additional room for engraving.

This Colt pocket auto is engraved in a period style to match a Colt-engraved 1903 pocket.

This is a full coverage late-model Walther PPK/S. It’s been fully relief-carved in an oak leaf and acorn pattern. This is reminiscent of the factory engraved, pre-war, Walther Pocket Autos!

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 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 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.

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