This is an inexpensive way to enhance or personalize your rifle! These are engraved in American Scroll and make a great addition to any firearm. Floorplates and grip caps can be engraved at a very reasonable cost. I can also add animals or initials for an added personal touch to your firearm.

Montana Brand Colt (In Progress)
This is a first generation Colt that features prominent Montana ranch brands. It will be nickel-plated with high polish blue screws and small parts.
This will be a very unique pistol. Colt’s featuring brands were very popular in the 1920s so this SAA harkens back to those times and will be a true standout revolver at any cowboy shoot or gun show, for sure!

Customer Photo – PPKS
Here’s a photo from my customer of his PPK/S. It will be an heirloom piece for his family! I’m often asked whether people should put their names or identifying features on their guns; if it’s to be an heirloom, by all means, add the information!
If your plan is to sell the gun at a later date, I feel that you’re often better off to leave personal names, initials, etc. off of the gun.

Custom 98 Mauser
This is a beautiful yet simple rifle engraved in a semi-English style. It evokes English rifles used in Africa in the 1900s.
Rifles of this particular caliber would have been used for plains game hunting, lions, and leopards.
The checkering is by Mary Ann Hockenbury, a local of the Bitterroot Valley.

1881 Marlin
I engraved this 1881 Marlin rifle to recreate a factory pattern that was common to the rifle. The original was done by Conrad F Ulrich, he was the Marlin factory engraver from 1881 to 1907. C. F. Ulrich was part of the Ulrich Firearms engraving dynasty which stretched for nearly a century from the 1850s until 1949.
The animals on this particular pattern all appear to have been done in a “folk-art” style and includes deer, bear, & bison.
Over the years we have recreated many historic patterns on a wide variety of firearms.

Bright or Inked Cuts
Here are two examples of the same engraved piece.
I’m often asked the question as to the difference between bright and inked cuts! These pictures will show the difference. It’s a matter of personal taste as to whether one darkens, or inks, a cut or leaves it bright.
The advantage of inking a cut, as a general rule, will make the engraving pop from the background. Most people tend to prefer inked cuts as it creates the illusion of depth.

PPK-S Eagle Scout Pistol
This Walther PPK/S is fully engraved in American Scroll and features an Eagle Scout theme throughout. It features 5 American Bald Eagles and the Boy Scouts of America badge. This makes for a very handsome carry and/or display piece to commemorate gaining the rank of Eagle Scout!
This pistol would look equally nice in a holster or a glass-front display case.
