Fully engraved 1918 erfurt
 

I would say this is the ulitmate engraved and gold inlaid 1918 Erfurt. all matching numbers hand carved grips. this is what steel canvas looks like.

YIKES!! They missed a few spots! That thing is missing so much metal I don't know if it could be shot safely..Pretty in a trashy hooker sort of way but I prefer the girl next door type..unblemished with no makeup.

Some may even call it bling, but it far surpasses that.

If that was in my gun safe and you had a better one we would both be happy. :p

I realize that gun engraving is not everyone's cup of tea. I, for one, like engraved handguns that are tastefully done by real craftsmen. I only own two of them, but I cherish them, and marvel at what a craftsman can do with bare hand tools and an eye for design.

That Luger, while nice to look at, is a bit too much engraving for my taste, but I wouldn't mind owning it. Someone spent a ton of time producing that degree of engraving.

It took over 100 hours from design to completion, i played a small part in prep and background on it over 15 years ago . the master engraver was Horace "Hoss" logan now deceased It now resides in a private collection. The current owner allowed me to see it and take a few pictures of it after learning i had a part in the engraving process, and i thought i might share a few pictures of it with the forum members. The pictures do not do it justice.

I don't own any, but I like looking at engraved guns. The Luger along with the 1911,Hi-Power and the SAA seem to wear engraving well. Thanks for sharing!

Padredan -

Is the young lady holding it the current owner??? I am curious as to what other handguns she may own...

Here a Legit one
 

On Rock Island Auction for $60 to $90k.

Beautiful pistols. Thanks for sharing guys.

I too like engraving, but less rather than more.

I do like the grips very much.

This thread sorta reminds me about the 60's ?: Geez, how many blocks did you have to chase him to git that (shirt, tie, pair of pantz[not slacks], sneakers..what all). I cannot believe that any person that ever made a Luger, would endorse such horrible defiling of a piece of art.
