hahaha....everyone to their own taste Mike.
How to ruin what was a great gun when a nice labrador, game scene or scroll would have in "my mind" been far more tasteful.
Reminds me of the Margaret Thatcher Purdey K.Hunt engraved gun which was recently up for auction at Holts, no one wanted to own that, either! Did not sell ..Did not make reserve!

"The gun is estimated at £30,000-£50,000, but is likely to fetch far more" yeah right!
Sir, I am not going to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent, the Margeret Thatcher gun is a completely different job, she was a politician who you either lover or hated thus the engraving is "difficult"...not so in this case, best, Mike
