levi littleton Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 BP framed Colts, engraved by the late Jerry Harper, one piece ivory. And with a little work they actually shoot pretty nice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Not a pair, but I usually shoot with at least one engraved gun. Some are cimarron or Taylor’s laser engraved. Like this cattle brand. Then there’s this EMF great western 2 model, which funny story I ordered it because I thought it looked close to the Shootist gun, which was also a great western. I told that to EMF when I ordered it and that’s what they call it now. Shouldn’t I get royalties? And finally this old scratched up gun names Lucky. Not that special I suppose, but a fantastic shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

levi littleton Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Nice pair Sam. Good looking guns. No way you'll ever wear off chrome Rodeos are a great base gun to engrave. I have a few pairs. These are some of my favorite guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go along with that. But, I am sorry to say that I don't have a pair of engraved pistols. At the moment, I have only one, and this is it. The engraving is actually kind of minimal, but it is there. It looks even nicer in its case... Believe it or not, I found this thing for five hundred bucks. Including the conversion cylinder. Of course are far as pretty guns go, I think this one is my prettiest, even if it's not engraved... There's just something about being able to say that you are a "man with a golden gun." It came with mother of pearl grips which I replaced with the pictured wooley mammoth ivory ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Jerry Harper, SASS 'Vinagaroon' (hope I spelled it correctly, has more accolades in our sport and the shooting world than most of us realize. Even from my limited knowledge, when COLT wanted some 'special' work done on their 1911's, Jerry was the man they called on for the job. I didn't know him very well, especially as others did in this sport/game. Basically, he was local and loved shooting at Oak Ridge, Ocoee Rangers, Old Town Hooten, and a few other Cowboy hangouts. Nice Pistols, Levi. You should feel honored to have something that Jerry has embellished. No doubt, he was an artist and professional in his work. And I might add, a true gentleman to know and talk with..... and shoot with. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I was on gunbroker looking for Colt JR and found a gun once owned by hank williams jr, factory engraved, nickle, .45 ivory grips, with a signed letter from HWJ that he once owned the gun. I don't think we can post links to auctions, but you should be able to find it with out trouble if interested. The price is high but I see them getting that kind of money from factory engraved Colts.

No question an artist and it really showed in his work. Another pair of Jerry's work. May be the nicest pair of traditional Colts I have ever seen. Built on 3rd Gen guns with all the subtle 1st Gen details added. I regret not being able to spend some time talking with Mr. Harper and obtain more of his work early on.

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Back about '06 my then 14-year old son, the Sassparilla Kid, won a drawing for some work by the late Texas Jack. Far from museum quality but nevertheless fun, he whittled on the Kid's Beretta Stampedes. Gotta love the sarsaparilla bottles poppin' their corks on the butts!

Big Gus, SASS# 66666 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 My engraved rig. Pistols (Berettta Stampedes) and rifle (PUMA 92) were engraved by Line Cutter (Ken Burklow) in Charlottesville VA. He does some fine work a true master. The shotgun came that way from the factory in Germany over 100 years ago. Not the best main match shooter but the guns certainly give me style points.

Sharp focus on the engraved barrels, and then the focus gets fuzzy as you look farther back. Besides, it's quite sexy without being risque, with the black fabric background. Nice pistols, too.
