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.

This floorplate and grip cap are engraved in American Scroll but, for added emphasis, they each feature selective nickel plating! I can also selectively plate in silver or 24k gold.

The selective plating allows you to have the look of inlays at a fraction of the cost!

These parts are engraved in American Scroll, adding a touch of class to a custom hunting rifle! Consider dressing up your hunting gun without breaking the bank!

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!

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 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 a beautiful Marlin deer rifle! It features American Scroll engraving with a running buck, doe, and farm scene on one side and a Whitetail buck portrait on the off-side.

The Marlin is a thoroughly modern lever-action rifle in stainless steel that is ideal for hunting in thick cover.

This Mauser has been engraved in semi-relief carved oak leaves, based on a pattern used by the late, great Pennsylvania gunsmith, Paul Yaeger.

The semi-relief carved oak leaves are generally less expensive to engrave as only the background is removed; the leaves themselves aren’t carved.

This is a lovely quarter bore rifle in the classic Ned Roberts’ caliber of .257 Roberts’.

The rifle is in the process of being finished by Canyon Creek Custom Gunstocks based out of Conner, MT.

This action shows how you can really dress up a single shot action without breaking the bank! The action of this particular gun is engraved in American Scroll which would have been used at the time that this Rolling Block was manufactured.

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.
