Certainly a different style of engraving isn't it?
Must say though that it is beautifully done, me I guess it depends on what the character the gun requires.
To me an old English single shot rifle has to have large filigree around borders & to highlight certain features, barrel trigger guard etc
The old shotgun, again filigree but a much smaller type covering the action
But a rifle in a German calibre like 7x64mm, oak leaves and acorns a must - even on the stock too.
That's what makes an 'average' rifle that much more personal & unique.
I bet you guys out there have got some real classic examples of engraving out there
