Because engraving subjects, styles and coverage can very enormously it is very difficult to list exact prices. Please note that some gun metals are harder and more time is involved to engrave them.
ANIMALS
Animals start at $500.00 and can be done in either portrait style or full body. Precious metal inlaid animals start at $750.00 plus current market cost of the precious metal being inlaid. Grip caps look best with head/neck of animal (Portrait style). Floor plates can accommodate portrait style or full body animals.
SCROLL WORK
Price varies on many things: size of scroll, if there is any relief work (removal of background metal), and the amount of coverage. I can match most engraving styles if given examples or photos. The more elaborate the scroll, then the more time to complete, therefore increase cost amount.
This grip cap is done with full sculpting of metal and then engraved. The blueing has been removed in places to give it a pen and ink drawing effect.
This is a Coues deer that was reproduced from a photo taken of Jack O'Connor's prized trophy. It is currently on a reproduction of Jack's favorite rifle that we did for the Idaho Chapter of FNAWS that was raffled off in February 2006.
To have this style of engraving with an animal on a grip cap would cost $550.00
This is a view of the butt plate on the same rifle.
This is my representation of Jack O'Connor's famed "Ram of Pilot Mountain". This story of his record book Dall sheep was published in Outdoor Life magazine in January of 1951.
The blueing has been removed to give it a pen and ink drawing effect. The scroll is large in size with 100% coverage.
To have this style of engraving with an animal on a butt plate would cost $850.00
