I knew of Cimarron as a company specializing in Old West guns reproduction. But apparently they are also fans of serious engraving.

I was surprised to see that, somehow, they copied me. Some of you may be aware that last year i mounted a red dot on my Snider Enfield. Well, look at this. Can't be just a coincidence.

Long guns were on display too. These were not for sale, even when i offered to trade my Snider for that Spencer carbine.

I like some tasteful engraving (although these are way over the top for my taste...), and I love colour case hardening...but am I the only person who thinks that those two types of embellishment look horrible together on the same piece of metal?

That sidehammer (Spencer?) in the last pic would be a cool gun with either type of finish, but with both it seems like a bit of a dog's breakfast.

Nice guns for looking at, but for actually shooting I think my first choice would be Lou's "Ye Olde Tacticoole Shootin' Iron" Snider! :)

I actually really like the look of that blue case hardening with the engraving!
