I shoot around a lot of folks who ooh and aw over lavishly laser engraved guns and barely even glance at a modestly hand engraved gun. But to not be hard on them they have no knowledge of or appreciation of the skill required to properly design and hand cut engraving one piece at a time. I find many who matured in an age of mass production and cannot comprehend what is required of a hand crafter article. Oh well......
