1776 Hand Engraved 1911

1776 ENGRAVED 1911

This extraordinary 1776 Engraved 1911 is a showcase of master-level artistry and precision craftsmanship.

The pistol features full-coverage, hand-cut engraving across the slide and frame, with flowing scrollwork that frames prominent American patriotic motifs. Both sides of the slide display finely detailed American flags and a central eagle, while the right side commemorates history with an engraved “1776–2026” banner. Select elements are accented with gold inlay, adding contrast and depth against the satin stainless steel finish.

The slide incorporates American flag–inspired rear serrations, seamlessly blended into the engraving, and the top and flats are meticulously finished to maintain clarity and balance between function and ornamentation. A gold bead front sight complements a fixed black rear sight, providing both elegance and practical sight alignment.

The frame mirrors the slide’s engraving with matching scrollwork, paired with 25 LPI checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing for a refined yet functional grip. The pistol is finished with striking mammoth bark ivory grips, each panel uniquely patterned, reinforcing the one-of-a-kind nature of the piece.

Every detail visible in this pistol reflects intentional design, precision execution, and reverence for American heritage. This is not only a functional firearm, but a singular collector-grade work of art, created to stand apart as a centerpiece in any serious collection.
