I had my Walther PPK (stainless Interarms 1988 vintage .380) engraved by Michael Gouse years ago with 75% coverage American Scroll. I really like my little Walther. One of the guys at work wanted to sell his stainless Walther PPK/S .380 and the price was too good to pass up. I prefer the shorter and 10% lighter grip of the PPK over the PPK/S (which is a PP frame mated to a PPK slide/barrel), but I must admit that the PP and PPK/S frame fits my big hands rather well.

I decided to send the PPK/S off to Gouse along with another pistol (saves on shipping by sending two at a time!) and to have the PPK/S relief engraved with German Acorns & Oak Leaves. Gouse engraved both guns in exactly 7 weeks and that includes time in shipping transit.

There is just something about having a Walther engraved in the same style that came from the factory in the 1930's.











The deep relief engraving on the front and back straps gives your hand a good purchase, just like checkering would do.

I've been in touch with him and have made arrangements to send him my Cimarron Open Top. Then it's off to Turnbull for finish work. Can't wait!
 
If I can ever scrape the funds togather,I'm going to have him do my 1986 3" round butt 657 in the same 3/4 American style engraving .I love his work and you have some VERY NICE guns .
Thanks for sharing .
