At long last (we're talking 8 month project) I have received the first US Customs / Department of the Treasury, Homeland Security Office of Investigations Special Agent engraved M1911 pistol. I started this project from scratch (we're talking sketching on paper here) moved it up to vector paths, submissions, revisions... Engraving test samples on scrap metal, then on junk slides... sending them to DOC locations in Houston, Washington, L.A... Finally approval came, actual selection of the gun, working with Smith and Wesson to get exactly what the customer wanted. After all that, with approval (and a job offer I was totally flattered to get)from some of the highest ranking investigators, we got to move on to production.

So after all that blah blah blah... check this shit out
