Hunting Gifts made of 925 Sterling Silver

Hunting gifts in 925 silver — where the motif captures the passion for hunting and the material expresses respect. This collection brings together silver gifts for hunters: flask motifs in hand-engraved niello (capercaillie as a set or individually, spaniel, weasel, bear, bear fight) and silver wall plaques featuring a hunting dog and rabbit. All pieces are crafted at the SevChern manufactory in Veliky Ustyug, one of the few workshops worldwide that still practices traditional niello work. An ideal gift for a hunter’s 50th or 60th birthday, a hunt completion, retirement, or simply as an heirloom that lasts.

925 Silver Flask with Hunting Motif — Options for Different Types of Hunters

A silver flask is the type of hunting gift that almost no hunter buys for themselves — and that is exactly why it makes such an impact. Various hunting motifs, each with hand-engraved niello on the front and a polished back for personal engraving:

✦ Flask with Capercaillie motif as a 3-piece gift set (150 ml) — the set includes a flask, shot cup, and silver funnel for the hunter who likes to share at the lodge.
✦ Flask with Spaniel motif (260 ml) — for the dog handler who has been heading out on the stalk with the same hunting dog for years.
✦ Flask with Weasel motif (90 ml) — the compact mini-flask for inside jacket pockets, discreet and elegant.
✦ Flask with Bear motif (260 ml) — the bear standing tall in the forest, representing strength and dignity; 290 grams of silver in your hand.
✦ Flask with Bear Fight motif (500 ml, round) — the only round flask and the only complete scene: a bear versus a hunting dog in full drama.

All flasks are made of solid 925 sterling silver, are delivered in a SevChern gift box with a satin inlay, and can be engraved (name, date, family crest, hunting insignia). Details on all motifs and sizes can be found in our hunting gift guide.

Caliber .50 Cartridge Case — the Shot Glass Set for the Whole Hunting Party

Alongside the individual flasks, the Caliber .50 Cartridge Case is the ultimate hunting gift set for a group: a hinged leather cartridge pouch with six cartridge-shaped silver shot glasses. The six shells are constructed in three parts — matte 925 sterling silver on top, a niello ornament band in the middle, and a gold-toned cartridge base (50 ml per glass, gold-plated interior). On the hinged lid of the dark brown leather cartridge pouch sits a silver plate with an engraved hunting horn in an oak leaf medallion — the signature look of classic hunting accessories. Ideal for the end of a hunt, the clubhouse, or an anniversary between fellow hunters. Total weight 920 g, length 296 mm. Handmade in the SevChern manufactory, Nielloa accessory line.

Silver Wall Plaques with Hunting Motifs — Hunting Dog and Rabbit in Niello

In addition to the flasks, we offer two silver wall plaques for the hunting room, library, or cabin. Both feature hand-engraved niello on 925 sterling silver, are framed, and come ready to hang:

✦ Hunting Dog wall plaque in 925 silver with niello engraving — a setter or pointer in a typical hunting pose, framed by floral niello ornaments. Perfect for a dog handler or as a gift following the loss of a long-time hunting companion.
✦ Rabbit wall plaque in 925 silver with niello engraving — the classic small game motif, captured in niello black on polished silver. For the small game hunter.

Both wall plaques are part of our Thematic Silver Gifts and complement the flask collection to form a complete world of hunting in silver.

Why 925 silver is a better hunting gift than stainless steel

A hunting gift in 925 sterling silver differs from mass-produced stainless steel in four ways. Material Value: Silver is a precious metal and can be passed down as an heirloom. Taste: Silver is taste-neutral, so whisky and cognac remain pure. Adornment: Niello motifs are embedded in the material, not applied to it — making them abrasion-resistant and guaranteed not to fade. Aging: Silver develops a patina that adds character. A 30-year-old silver flask looks better than a new one. Stainless steel looks like junk after 30 years.

Hand-engraved Niello — the Russian silversmithing behind every piece

All hunting gifts in this collection feature motifs created via hand-engraved niello. Niello (Russian: Чернь, "blackness") is a refining technique dating back to the Middle Ages — the Russians of Veliky Ustyug perfected it in the 18th century. Today, the SevChern manufactory is one of the few workshops worldwide that still practices niello in the traditional way. The motif is hand-engraved into the silver, a black alloy is fused into the grooves, sanded flush, and polished — like ink in silver. The contrast is unmistakable: deep black motifs on bright silver — permanent, never fading, and wear-resistant.

Engraving Service — turning your hunting gift into a keepsake

Every flask has a polished back waiting for your engraving. Options include names, dates, initials, short dedications, family crests, or hunting symbols. Examples of what customers have engraved: name plus the year of their first hunting license, a wedding date for the best man from the hunting party, the years of hunting permits for retirement, the name of the hunting grounds, or the hunting dog’s name. Upon request, we will include a complimentary "SilberVerse" card — a specially written verse of 3–4 lines regarding the occasion and name, printed in your desired language on a 15 × 10 cm photo card in a standard silver, white, or black frame. Please request engraving via the contact form; engraving adds 1–3 business days to the delivery time.
