Feinejagdwaffen,

That is truly a beautiful piece of workmanship.
I work in the African bush, I see the big 5 every day, and when it comes to engravings or even just paintings and art work, I am very fussy with what makes the grade or not. It HAS to be realistic. The work on your rifle is excellent and very realistic.

If an engraver can't produce a realistic looking animal or scene he should just stick to scrolls. It is too much work and too much expense to get it wrong, and it brakes my heart to see a beautiful DR ruined by bad work.

But yours is beautiful :-)

I hope you get many years of service and enjoyment out if it.

Pete.
