I am what I own. From my parents, the way I grew up, Depression baby, it wouldn't be me to have a decorated firearm. I appreciate the engraver's skills and wouldn't knock another's gun for its exquisite form. It's what's inside that counts. My Elsie Specialty 12 and Sauer 16 are engraving limits for me. Ditto everything else: home, cars, sporting gear, boats, aircraft. No matter how it's wrapped, quality is easily recognized.
