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!

This is a second generation Colt being engraved in a factory pattern. This is the beginnings of the project. I’ll be featuring more photos of this Colt as it progresses.

Here’s the finished product on the Native American themed Vaquero. It also features carved Ivorex grips.

This revolver is a work in progress with many Native American themes throughout. Tomahawks, headdresses, and more are featured. I’ll have more pictures soon!

This fully engraved Colt is based on original factory patterns . The gun was left as a “gray” gun per the customer’s request. This makes the gun look like a fancy, engraved gun that’s seen much use in the American West. This really dressed up a rather dreary but mechanically sound old Colt.

Here’s another little gem of a pocket pistol engraved in American Scroll for an exceptional little hideout gun!

This little jewel of a gun features full coverage in American Scroll engraving. This pattern features a relief-carved brand. This goes to show what can be done on even the smallest of handguns!

This Colt features American Scroll engraving on virtually 100% of the firearm. This makes for a very beautiful display piece or an exceptional carry gun. This pistol is based on a 1903 Colt pocket model that I had done several years ago. I can engrave different guns to make them look as if they were originally designed to be a matching set.
