Turnbull Manufacturing is now offering online 1911 engraving selections for new pistols at Turnbullmfg.com. When ordering a Turnbull 1911 pistol online, the new site allows the customer to see the cost and the area of engraving coverage available.

“One of our proudest accomplishments is our reputation for fine engraving on 1911 pistols,” said CEO Doug Turnbull. “The engraving section on our web site allows us to open this service up to Turnbull 1911 customers coast to coast.”

The preset engraving options are available in three coverages and patterns: 25, 50 and 75 percent. There is also a custom engraving service that allows the customer to select a photo from a gallery or send in a picture of a preferred style to get a custom quote.
