That is lovely John.

Looks very nicely proportioned for a .600Nitro.

Would like to shoot a VC one of these days!

Cheers, Chris

What is this type of engraving known as? How is it done? Any other features of it? Lasting or not?

Hard to tell from the photo, but looks like Bulino engraving. Lots of dots. Don't know how they do it!

Punched by a small point punchl I think.

Some of the Italian and Spanish engraving is fantastic by this method.

Known as? ART and real art too.

Sweet! I know that's a strange description for a monster like a 600 NE double, but I do think it fits well, here!
