I LOVE this guns engraving pattern, it reminds me alot of the "new" Watson Bros. house engraving style they scratch on their beautiful and elegant round body SLE. This is a nice gun, but like the rocketman said....it can be fixed..it will be expensive, I am thinking maybe forend metal that is in the white from either Spain (most likely) or Italy could be shaped, fitted and finished to work with this gun. I shiver at the thought of this job though, the cost would be somewhere in the $1500 to $2500 price range (new wood, new metal, all the time fitting and shaping..and then finishing)
