Since its beginning the owners and staff of A&A ENGRAVING, Inc.® have been dedicated to one goal: making the finest commemorative firearms in the world. This dedication to perfection has made A&A a leader in the industry. A&A Engraving Inc.® was established in 1976, housed in the basement of the Armstrong family home. Most of the work during the first few years was done for individuals on their personal firearms. The first commemoratives produced came in 1982 with a rifle and pistol set engraved for the Rapid City, SD Centennial. Things really took off in 1984. First came a commission from the Chadron Nebraska Centennial committee for 25 Chadron Centennial guns, followed by projects from Rushville, NE, Gordon, NE and Hay Springs, NE. The company grew from 2 to 6 employees and in 1987 built a small workshop. Contracts for the North Dakota and South Dakota state centennial projects soon followed. By 1989 with more than 12 people on the payroll, a larger plant was needed, the 5000 square foot building that currently houses the production facility was purchased. In 1991, with the workforce at 20 and climbing, A&A Engraving was incorporated. In 1997 a building was purchased to accommodate the corporate offices, design studio and the new jewelry manufacturing plant. At the close of 1998, A&A Engraving Inc.® had 37 employees and produced more than 2000 commemorative firearms during the year. |
