I agree with both Doug and the Colonel. I enjoy seeing when Walt Snyder posts pics of his high grade Ithacas or someone posts pictures of a high grade Lefever or LC Smith. As long as it is well executed like the English Rose and Scroll I think its fitting but its all a matter of each persons individual taste.
Would I personally take them hunting, no, but then again a fellow I know saw someone throw a Thomas Boss into the back of his Escalade after shooting a few rounds of sporting clays.
