This is an update to my previous Smith & Wesson 686 post.

These photos further show the Smith & Wesson 686 fully assembled, inked, and complete!

This is an extremely elegant American Scroll finished revolver with the addition of relief-carving. There are few Smith & Wesson 686’s that are fancier or more extensively engraved than this revolver!

These photos show this Model 36 Smith & Wesson, that was previously posted as a work in progress, as a finished and inked revolver! This is a very early pre-Model 36 and it’s a very first of the J-frame Chief Specials. The gun features absolute full-coverage American Scroll-style engraving with full-coverage domed-punch background.

This photo shows the initial large scrollwork and the starting sketches of the smaller, internal scrollwork.

Major scroll work and the internal scrollwork are cut!

This picture shows the background being relief-carved, or, cut away, and stippled.

The finished product! All of the cuts, detail, and shading cuts, with the inked background, are complete.

These photos show a modern interpretation of the Hepburn rifle. These are very popular as both target and hunting rifles. However, today, most of them are used for target work.

The engraving shows an amount of coverage that would have been typical of either a hunting or target rifle of the 1890s. This style of engraving is known as American Scroll.

I can do any kind of engraving or scrollwork that you would require!

This particular engraving would run about $500.

It should be noted that this gun was in the white (not blued or case-hardened), this can add to the overall cost.

We do a lot of engraving for both cowboy action shooters and SASS shooters, as well as long range and scheutzen shooters. This allows your guns to not only stand out on the firing line, but also in the rack, and on the loading tables! It makes it easy to identify your firearm from all of the others.

Engraving adds a great personal touch to the firearm and connects you to a time since-past, when the well-heeled shooter had their guns customized.

This little action was in rough shape when I received it. It’s had the surfaces trued up and pitting has been removed. The engraving adds a nice finishing touch to a classic boys rifle from the turn-of-the-last century. The engraving adds a bit of class to what, otherwise, would be a very plain rifle.

This is a stainless steel model of the classic Model 46 Smith & Wesson. This makes for a very practical and classy carry pistol. Being a semi-hammerless, it doesn’t hang up in your pocket. The other nickname for this model is the Humpback. This allows for quite a large area for engraving on such a small J-frame revolver!

This Browning Hi-Power is fully engraved in American Scroll style engraving. These pistols were the very first Wonder-9’s, dating back to 1935. The design is still in production to this day and makes for a very classy everyday-carry gun. This particular gun will eventually get fancy grips and should be quite the barbecue gun. Carrying a fully engraved classic handgun, like this, makes a statement of absolute quality!

This is a photo of a very early work in progress model 36 Smith & Wesson that is being fully engraved and rehabilitated. When finished, it will be nickel-plated with inked cuts. Stay tuned for photos of the completed gun!

This is a recreation of a Henry repeating rifle. It’s engraved in a style reminiscent of an original that was engraved in the 1860-1870 period. If you’re a cowboy shooter, it’s often handy to have your gun engraved so they stand out in the racks from all of the other rifles. I’ve seen, in the past, people picking up nearly identical rifles, get to the firing line, and realize they’ve picked up the wrong rifle! This isn’t likely to happen with a custom engraved rifle.

This is a huge handgun! It’s capable of taking just about any game on the planet. This particular gun has been engraved in American Scroll with approximately 50% coverage. This makes for a very unique and elegant hunting handgun. This handgun would be the talk of any hunting camp in America.
