GRS 024-199 Engraving Transfer System Colt Model 1911

The GRS Engraving Transfer System for the Colt Model 1911 makes it straightforward for engravers to establish proper, credible scroll styles on one of the most iconic firearms in American history. Permanent scroll images transfer directly from the included vinyl transfer sheet to the metal surfaces of the firearm — no freehand layout required. Developed around Mike Dubber's original steel Master Plate, this system gives engravers of all experience levels a reliable reference for accurate pattern placement and scroll execution.

Each component in the kit works together as a complete workflow guide: schematic instructions show where each numbered scroll pattern belongs on the firearm's various surfaces, the transfer sheets deliver the patterns permanently to the metal, and a plastic casting of Dubber's Master Plate demonstrates how to execute and detail each scroll once transferred. The result is consistent, professionally credible engraving with a sound stylistic foundation.
