Made for those who served — and those who remember.
Pirate Black Engraving
This series is built around military commemoration — unit marking, location, and year, held in a restrained layout that preserves a real moment on metal.
Finished in Pirate Black, a deepened, aged tone that settles into the brass and surface texture.
It sharpens contrast, gives the engraving more weight, and brings a darker, more historical presence to the piece.
A Record, Not a Display
Military Commemorative Edition
is not created to display identity
or replicate a fixed image of service.
It is meant to preserve a record.
Unit numbers, locations, years, and designations
do not require explanation.
Those who understand will recognize them immediately.
Those who don’t are not meant to be convinced.
The black body is achieved through a Pirate Black coloring process,
not as a surface effect,
but as a deliberate reduction of presence.
The finish quiets the object,
allowing the engraved marks
to remain the only statement.
This is a commemorative piece,
but not one meant for a display case.
It is meant to be carried,
used,
and shaped by time —
just like the experiences it represents.
