Special Engravings

From time immemorial, engraving is one of the most refined and elegant techniques in the history of art. Beretta has always personalized its luxury arms by engravings of first-class technique and tradition, often handed down from father to son. The skill of Brescian engravers is well known all over the world as an example of incomparable artistic creativity. The engraving techniques can be various: from the oldest one of the great maestros, the gold inlaying, to the technique of hammer and tip used for bas-relief and chasing or to the one – possibly better known – of burin, mainly used in hunting scenes, which allows the maestro engraver – through microlines and spots – to achieve an absolute precision with a variety of chiaroscuro effects. These engraving techniques permit the realization of small works of art, which turn each object into something unique.

There is also a large range of artistic typologies, which can be realized also upon request: from the floral styles to traditional hunting scenes, from exotic themes to scenes of mythological inspiration or with golden animals inlaid or engraved.

Beretta luxury guns are tangible examples of this superfine art handed down for centuries, and they allow tailoring of the customer’s gun or pistol – often upon request – with original patterns, expressly requested by the customer himself.
