To me it seems to be a combination of English scroll engraving and Teutonic deeply incised engraving. The absence of consistency would bother me. However shooting it wouldn't bother me at all. A little duct tape and everyone would think it had a coin finish!   Jim

I love it. Baroque style with gargoyles take us back to the early eighteenth century. Some of the finest architecture in Europe is decorated in this style.

Not one they made for stock. Still the buyer gets what he wants and those after him get to speculate what he was thinking of. One thing clear is that the owner(s) have used that gun a lot so they must have been happy with it. Just be glad that style engraving did not catch on and replace the rose and scroll.

I like scroll better, too.
When I look at it I keep thinking the pattern would look better with some sort of border. It does not seem finished, somehow...
Interesting, though. Glad I saw it.

I think it's totally cool. Wish it was mine.

I prefer the standard Royal pattern, but then I'm a bit conservative at times.

At first I did not care for it but the more I look at it the more I like it. Even more so than the Rose and scroll.

The gargoyles look a lot better than many of the flying sweet potatoes that "grace" a lot of the American classics. It think the theme is very well executed. I find more about it to like than to dislike. Thumbs up.
