Was the engraving done to camouflage previous damage from pitting or buffing etc?




I hope so. At least there would be some justification that way.

Quote:

As for having a plain rifle engraved to make it more valuable I see nothing wrong. I do believe that engraving should be in the style of the period but changing it's design and adding some bling can make for a nice looking and higher priced rifle.




Sure. I've seen a few "upgrades" on rifles like this done by Ken Hunt that were lovely. Again, as long as the quality of the work at least equals original maker standard, and "fits" the rifle, I agree there's no issue.

I agree about the pictures. From what I can see of the engraving though, it really looks bad to me. Obviously, the action was annealed to re-engrave, and certainly no way to tell from the photos if it was re-hardened afterwards. The possibility that it might still be soft would make me nervous until I had it tested.
