Very stylish. I like it! Not overdone, very nice. Do you mind if I ask the cost. I've been thinking for some time now, I'd like to have at least 1 engraved revolver.

Beautiful work.

I love the German style of engraving. Great job.

When I saw the thread title I knew it had to be a 460! That's certainly the first tattooed one I've seen. Beautiful work. And I have no doubt it'll still get shot!!

First scratched up 460 I’ve ever seen. VERY nice!

Very nice!

I have to say I like it!
The blackened background really makes it pop and sing.

Since it’s stainless steel how does he do that? Anybody know?

In today's world, I would doubt that it's been hand engraved with hammer and cutting implements; but I really don't know. I believe that most engravers are now using the most modern 'gravemeister' (or maybe even more modern CNC type) machines. OP, can you tell us? Did you witness any of the engraving being done? It looks nice no matter how he cut it.

Hammer and chisels- check out his web site.

He is a master engraver - his time is valuable, so assume it wasn't cheap. That gun is beautifully done. I really appreciate the way he has used the satin finish and the blacked-out areas to create depth and texture. The folks who do this are true artisans. The patience required to do this is beyond me.

The stainless going to black as the trigger guard reaches up is really nice.

I'm no expert on engraving but I think it looks very nice!!

That's just gorgeous. Well worth whatever it cost. That's one to be proud of.

Great looking .460

! The contrasting background really makes the engraving stand out nicely.

Two words sum it up: magnificent & outstanding! I'll bet you can't get the smile off your face.
