I am not a big fan of engraving as my guns tend to get used hard. engraving on my guns would just get banged up and destroyed. But I must admit I enjoy looking a nice engraving.
Here is a website I just found. http://www.engravingforum.com/showthread.php?t=1494 Don't know if it's been put up here before...some of this stuff is so beautiful, I doubt I will be penalized for the duplication
DoubleD: I was about to challenge your comments about good engraving getting banged-up and destroyed during field use, then I went and had a look at the site!
Bloody hell! Marvellous artwork, to be sure, and some of Coggan's work is truly breath-taking...
BUT...
All that multi-coloured gold inlay? It would probably just get banged-up and destroyed during field use!
