I'm trying to help a friend of mine out; can anyone advise me of some good 'coffee table' books that feature engraved firearms or websites that have picture collections of engraved firearms?

"The big-format book (21x29.5 cm) contains 236 pages within its leatherette cover and colour dust jacket and is particularly rich in black and white photographs and colour plates. The text is in Italian with a parallel English translation. Mr Tullio Fabbri, well-known manufacturer of fine firearms, has written its introduction."

Steel Canvas by R.L. Wilson - bought my copy in my local Borders, saw another copy there just last week, should be readily available for you...

Wilson's book on Colt firearms includes a large number of photos of engraved Colts.

Is he out of prison, yet, BTW?

RL Wilson has a book on Winchester, shows some of the engraving through the years out that maker. All makes, lever and bolt.
