Lowell,
Everybody should like something. I think you may have 'reverse snobbery' syndrome. It's curable by spending money on yourself for expensive, ornate things.
Personally, I am not particularly attracted to the classic rose-n-scroll or other non-descript curly scratching, the Germanic deeply relief engraved rabbits pigs and stags. But, I've seen exceptional examples of some that I found attractive.
I am attracted to 'game scene' type engraving with limited scroll border work. Bulino style game scenes also draw my attention, although I have no guns with this style. The fact is, I have only a handful of guns with engraving other than some factory border stuff, and most are pretty mundane stuff.
