I really can appreciate a nice engraving on a gun or a knife. To bad that it is expensive ( which is logical considering the amount of time and skill that goes in a fine engraving) and the turn around time is relatively long when you have a famous engraver.
Years ago I bought a deactivated high grade shotgun, just for the engraving on it and have it on my wall. It is made around 1920 (I could be of by plus/minus ten years) The maker Watson Bros is still around today, and is located in London. It costed me $120 which is nothing, considering the work that has gone in it. Anyway, here are some pics, also for the dog lovers
It has a "crossover" stock for a shooter who is left eye dominate and right handed.
