This is a currently manufactured PPK/S in stainless steel. Given the oak leaf treatment common of earlier Walther pistols. This particular pistol is full-coverage featuring relief-carved oak leaves and acorn patterning. The engraving makes for a spectacular pocket pistol for everyday carry.

This revolver features 3/4 coverage American Scroll engraving. It also features engraving on the un-fluted cylinder. This makes for a modern, handsome hunting handgun.

This Ruger Vaquero features 75%+ American Scroll coverage. The recoil shield also features scroll engraving. On guns like this, the top of the barrel, top-strap, back-strap, bottom grip frame, and trigger-guard are all partially engraved.

The 3/4 coverage makes for a very handsome revolver and was typical of Colt’s engraved in the period of the American West.

This is a classic late-model Colt Detective Special with American Scroll engraving and the symbol signifying Ukraine engraved on the side. It’s a very unique little carry gun and conversation piece!

This little revolver is fully engraved.

This is a pair of Colt automatics that are engraved in a period style of when the pistols were initially manufactured. One features gold-plated trigger and safety, the other features a case-hardened and nickel-plated trigger and safety.

This makes for a handsome brace of vintage pocket pistols!

This is the finished Colt conversion that I posted last week. Here it is as a completed firearm! As before, this is engraved in the style of Cuno Helfricht and features about 3/4 coverage. Here’s the previous work in progress.

A work in progress of an 1860 cartridge conversion revolver. It’s being engraved in the style of Cuno Helfricht, a prolific Colt engraver from 1871 – 1921. This revolver features extremely detailed engraving.

This set of 25 auto Colt pistols, one in a matte finish, the other in a polished finish, are engraved and ready to be nickel plated! Keep an eye out for additional posts once these pistols are fully complete!

This is the current edition of the Colt Single Action Army engraved in a Helfricht-style American Scroll. The engraving on this gun is just over 50% coverage. This makes for a very handsome gun without a huge cash outlay. In fact, most of the guns that were engraved during the period of the American West, were between 50 – 75% coverage. You’ll find very few 25% or full coverage engraving on guns during this period.

Finally completed, here’s the InterArms PPK/S pistol featuring elephants and mammoths! Hence, the world’s smallest elephant gun!

These older InterArms PPK/S’ are among my very favorites of the Walther series of pocket pistols. I like the extended frame with the short slide of the PPK.

In my mind, they are among the best .380 caliber pocket autos ever!
