American and European Firearms Decorated Arms and armor for hunting, war, and ceremonial occa ions have always b een among man's most treasured posses ions. These objects, therefore, were subject to special care and lavish decoration commensurate with the owner's wealth and social status. Since the Renais ance, firea rms have seen p rogressi ve improvements in effi ciency. Guns and pistols, which had come to be considered mechanical marvels, were made by the most killful craftsmen and decorated by the most talented artisans. When embellishing weapons, these artisans often chose the mo t pectacular - and most difficult - method of teel decor·ation , known as dama cening II (named for Damascus, the city where this ancient technique first flourished). In this process, a pattern is chiseled into a teel surface; next , a soft, high-grade gold wire or foil is hammered into the chiseled grooves; finally, the decora tion i fini hed with afine gravr and polished flush with the steel surface. Larger figures and other ornamental motifs are sometimes incrusted into steel in a similar manner and left in relief. The more important damascened areas may be enhanced by engraving, which can cover Ill IV the surrounding teel. The decorated object is often blued , chemicaUy or by heat, since the resulting color contrast between the blued steel and gold makes the ornament more visible. Although mass production of firearms became possible in the nineteenth century, the tradition of hand-crafted gun decoration did not end. New forms of firearm and new materials used in theirv construction influe n ced artistic standards and ornamental technique . In the United States, some prominent engravers, including Gustav Young and Louis Daniel Nimschke (both active v c.l850-l900), introduced and developed a specific style of firearm decoration that has been widely foUowed by artisans ever since. The distinctive feature of this style is an abundance of seroUs and arabesques that were finely engraved on the blued- steel parts of the weapon. These exuberant scroUwork patterns sati sfi ed Victorian taste and enjoyed widespread popularity before 1900. Many ofthe most luxurious presentation weapons of the nine teenth century feature floral VI VII pattet·ns, animal figures, and symbolic imagery executed in gold incrustation and finish ed with chiseling and engraving. While generally superseded by new artistic trends toward the turn of the century, this type of decoration has remained the great favorite of American arms collector and firearm decorators. Pistols decorated by Raymond J. Wielgus (born1920) show an entirely new approach both to the art of the gun decorator and to the selection of omamental motifs. His background may provide some clue as to his unique approach to his craft. Wielgus studied art at the Univet· ity of Illinois, and he was trained a a wood carver and an industrial model designer. H e later VIII worked as a restorer of museum artifacts. He also studied and collected objects of primitive art and became a recognized expert in .this fi eld. At the same time , he d e veloped a keen inte r est in the d ecoration of firearms. Since his retirement in 1970 he has devoted considerable time and energy to the study a nd practice of the decorative technique IX X used b y artist metal-workers of the past. While Wielgus continues to use the ancient technique of damascening, hi decorative de igns are far removed from traditional scrollwot·k pattern of most gun decorators. His repertoire of omamental motifs, mostly inspired by Art Nouveau and Art Deco , is Refreshingly new in firearms decoration a nd, at the ame time , cotTesponds perfectly to the technical d e igns and functional forms of the pistols produced in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Other pattern developed by Wielgus seem to derive from elements found in the primitive art that he has studied and admired.

No part of this work may be reproduced in any form or by any means without the written permission of the author. 2 Introduction The British military services made considerable use of pistols during the Great War but it is evident that there is widespread ignorance and poor literary coverage of the weapons and their use. It is proposed to examine the pistol in British military service in the Great War, covering issue and use, technique and training, and procurement. Approximately half a million pistols were procured during the war, making it one of the numerically most widely issued weapons. A number of Corps, including the Machine Gun Corps, Tank Corps, and Royal Flying Corps were issued pistols as personal weapons, as well as extensive distribution in other arms. It is known that pistol use was widespread in trench warfare and critical on occasions. Decorations, including several Victoria Crosses, are recorded as being won by men using them aggressively.
