Cooper engraving

Hand done.

Def by hand, not laser..

Who did their Engraving? In-House engraved or contracted out to a member of the FEGA (Firearms Engraving Guild of America)?

I met at least one of their in-house engravers during the Vivero ownership, and I seem to recall one under the Dan Cooper ownership.
Paula Biesen did the engraving on the 25th Anniversary models.

edit to clarify - they did not always have an in-house engraver, I do not know who did their engraving when they did not have an in-house person doing it.

I believe my engraved 21 was made around 2006. It’s kind of odd that the most prominent/largest area of engraving is where there barrel meets the receiver which of course is covered by the scope!

Over the years they had at least 4 in house engravers, and used many others to engrave, Paula Beisen, Jere Davese, Jesse Kauffman, and more

Jesse Kaufman did a good amount of the high-end engraving.
