The history of firearms engraving is as old as the history of firearms, for it seems that since the first engraver saw the first unadorned expanse of gun steel, the urge to embellish it has been irresistible.

For some the addition of engraving is a simple finishing touch, the understated complement to a fine piece of equipment. For others it may be the most elaborate custom design, an elegant form of personal expression. In either case, the engraving must be a direct reflection of the gun's inherent quality.
 
The K-80 engraving patterns reflect the rich tradition of the gunmaker's art and are widely recognized in the world of shotgunning - the Bavaria, the Danube, the Gold Target, and, of course, the Crown Grade. They are joined now by several variations on the theme of fine quality, a host of mid-grade guns shown together here for the first time - the Parcours Special, the Gold Super Scroll, and the Bavaria/SuhI.
 
In addition, Krieghoff's factory engravers offer a wealth of talent and nearly unlimited range of engraving styles - from deep relief to delicate scroll, from game scenes with gold inlays to highly detailed Bulino. So whether you want to set your gun apart, to dress it up a bit, Krieghoff has the engraver and the style to suit your needs.
