The engravings on the “Nosferatu” 1911, skillfully handcrafted by FEGA master engraver Otto Carter, breathe life into the legends of vampiric folklore. These engravings, arranged in a series of vignettes, are framed with unique Victorian-inspired shapes and motifs.

The coffin-shaped custom pistol case, crafted from solid ebonized maple by Master Guild Craftsman Steve Parker, not only houses this extraordinary firearm but also showcases hand engravings that further immerse you in the world of vampire folklore. Within the case, you’ll find a Holy Water Font, ready to hold this sacred liquid.

In its entirety, the Cabot Guns 1911 “Nosferatu” transcends the realm of firearms and becomes a haunting work of art that flawlessly marries the elegance of a bygone era with the enigmatic allure of vampire mythology.
