Custom Engraved 1911

[jotto]

I was watching an episode of American guns this evening where the shop made a custom engraved 1911 for the 10th Mountain Division. It got me thinking that I would love something similar but for the 1st Cavalry Division, 1-8 Cavalry. Does anyone know who would be able to make one for me? Definitely looking for a show piece and I realize that it isn't going to be cheap.

Thanks for your assistance.

Nighthawk would definitely do something like that.

Check out Turnbull Restorations. I think they do engraving, and their work is incredible.

Nighthawk

^^ NOT THIS

Nighthawk makes some nice 'limited production' models but is not a real custom shop by any stretch of the imagination.

Turnbull Restorations

^^ THIS

Doug Turnbull, despite having "restorations" as part of his corporate name, is one of the finest custom (real custom builders) gunsmiths alive today.
