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 DZ Arms Hepburn action is engraved in a style that could have been found on an original Remington Hepburn. The action is engraved in American Scroll with about 50% coverage. This makes for a sharp looking rifle without breaking the bank and makes the rifle unique to you! Even the 50% coverage really makes it stand out against other rifles at a shoot!

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.

An engraved Henry rifle in the style of L. D. Nimschky. This is a good example of engraving in which the cuts have been left in the white, meaning that they haven’t been inked. While this doesn’t make the engraving ‘pop’ as much as it could, it certainly makes for a very flashy firearm when the cuts catch the light!

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 engraved 92 Deluxe Winchester is engraved in a Winchester Factory Pattern that’s true to age of the rifle. This little 25/20 would have been the cat’s meow as a varmint rifle in its day!

This Winchester features a white-tail deer on one side and a badger on the loading-gate side!

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.
