Artistic Expression

The art of the engraver is older than gun-making itself. Since man first fashioned tools he has had the urge to mark his personal identity on that which he has made. It is probably true to say that nowhere else has the art of the engraver found such an outlet as in the embellishment of firearms.   From the simplest scrollwork through intricate tracery to the mastery of inlays in precious metals, the engraver has something to suit every taste.   Here on these pages are illustrated just some of the patterns possible from the master engravers of Krieghoff.

The K-80 and K-20 are available in a wide choice of patterns to suit every taste and pocket.
