This Ruger New Vaquero is a recreation of an old model Vaquero that I engraved nearly 25 years ago!

It’s nearly identical to the original save for a slight reduction in size of the engravings themselves.

This is an extensively engraved Ruger Vaquero in the style of the American West. It features relief-carved cattle brands on both sides of the frame. This is an heirloom quality handgun that will be passed down through generations.

Soon, I’ll be posting similar Vaqueros with 50% coverage.

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!
