This is a vintage Colt engraved in the style of Wilbur Glahn, a prolific Colt engraver of the early 20th Century. This is a later model Colt. This is close to full coverage in Glahn’s American Scroll style.

This photo shows a Smith & Wesson 640 with the initial cuts in American Scroll style engraving. The cuts are done in such a way that the engraving will work no matter what set of grips are put onto the handgun!

When it’s finished, this will make for a very classic carry gun.

Come back next week to see the finished product!

This gun features full American Scroll coverage and makes for a very elegant small carry gun. Similar coverage would run about $350 for this size gun!

This is a way to really dress up any pistol without a ton of money out of pocket. Another advantage to slide engraving allows for shipping via USPS or FedEx ground as it’s a part and not considered a pistol by ATF. Thus. shipping restrictions don’t apply.

This is a nice, mechanically sound triple lock Smith & Wesson! It had been buffed to the point that the Smith & Wesson logo was nearly erased. I recut the logo and engraved the revolver in a period Smith & Wesson pattern.

This will make for a very nice display piece or a fancy shooter at target matches!

Here’s a unique Arabesque engraved PPK/S. This particular pistol features seven wolves engraved on it. Five of the wolves were based on photographs supplied by the customer! This is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind carry gun!

I can do custom-designed art for your engraving projects as well! I have many custom art examples. I’ve done tankers, submarine service, lawmen & outlaws, and firearms commemorating military and first responders.

This revolver features silver-plated bands and period style engraving. This would make for a very nice handgun for either display or use at rendezvous.

This is a Colt revolver that features 69 prominent cattle brands from throughout the state of Montana. This has the look of a period-engraved Colt. The brands add a real western flair to the revolver. This pistol harkens back to the cattle brand engraved Colts of Cole Agee.

This handgun would be a real standout at a cowboy shoot or at a gun show. There aren’t a lot of cattle brand guns out there so, they really stand out in any display of engraved handguns.

I can do a similar gun for you featuring your own brands or brands from your area!

This gun includes a blued trigger, screws, and cylinder pin and a case-hardened hammer. Many of the Colt nickel-plated guns were finished in this manner.

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!

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.
