I'm going to have a double rifle engraved and I want to use European animals --- boar, red deer and maybe moose. Does anyone have a photos of engraved guns they could share. Or a website I could visit?

I've seen the Blaser and Krieghoff catalogs,

Engravings is taken to the limit by the Ferlacher gunsmiths. Here is one such company - select "engravings", and notice there are 3 different kinds (small links) that can be perused individually... Hambrusch

I hope this will be detailed enough for you?? Personlly, I find some of the relief engravings a bit over the top. But I must admit that I find the Buolino engravings very impressive - even though I find them a bit much for a working gun.

P.S. Here is another Ferlacher: http://www.fanzoj.com/indexgb.htm

Here's my FN-Browning 9,3x74R O/U :


Another example is my B25 Special Chasse in 12 ga. :

Who will do the engraving?

Bill,

Have you called Blaser directly to speak with them about this. They will probably email you some samples of what they are doing.

You need the big Blaser catalog that we get in Europe. It's huge, and has samples of good engraving for most of the guns.

Talked to the folks at SIG yesterday and they are sending me a copy of the big european catalog.

Per Johansson is considered one of very best swedish engravers.

Here is a website for you:

Alexandra does many of the high grade Blaser guns, so if you like their stuff then she'll have something for you. Her website has all sorts of info (Boar, Red Deer, etc.) and her english is excellent. Plus she lives in Rothenburg o. d. t. so combining business with her and a visit to one of Germany's most premiere tourist attractions is always a bonus.

She is currently doing a limited edition Puma knife for me with Initialed & English Scroll boslter, with scrimshawed scales, a vertical Kudu chest on the intialed side and a horizontal Cape Buffalo head on the reverse side. Can't wait!

Cheers,

Gerry

PS André - nice Brownings, I especially like the shotgun - tasteful!

Some Holland & Holland Pairs





















Or if you are more the O/U type.
A Pair of Beretta SO9

André,
Love those H&H guns. The dogs on the top pair are just fantastic. Do you know when that pair of guns was made and/or their serial number range? Did you happen to note who the engraver was?

I don't now how well known they are in the US, but there is a group of Italian engravers who do wonders. www.creativeart.it Since you are talking about a double gun, you may want to bring it to Europe to have the engraving done.
