The embellishment of Arms &
Armor began in the Middle Ages.
A family crest, a coat of arms, perhaps a
religious icon was carved in the metal.
In time, these were replaced with engraved battle scenes,
landscapes, hunting motifs, even portraits of the owner.
At Court, jewelers added gold and silver inlay, precious gems
and more abstract designs. In time, these treasures were
cherished more for their artistic and historic value as family
heirlooms than their function as tools for the hunt and defense.
For centuries, the art of the gun remained a privilege of
nobility. In the early 19th Century, Victorians revived the tradition.
Today, the Old Armory Custom Gun Shop continues that
tradition making art on a steel canvas available to everyone.
Shown here are classic examples that can be re-created,
or we can create an original work of art
to commemorate any occasion.
The Master Pattern is the starting point of an
original work of art. With gold or silver accents,
fire blue appointments, inlaid signatures and other
details, the possibilities are limited only by your
imagination.
The USFA Custom Shop is ready to help you place your order for a custom gun. There are many options to choose from like engraving and special finishes. |
