The engraved 1911 pictured is rather crudely engraved.

Tools?
Engraving can be done with a simple hand, powered chisel.
There are pneumatic and mechanical powered mini "jackhammers" that make the work much easier and predictable, but these machines don't dictate the lines that are cut. The engraver still has to direct them.
