Well, If a gun has just letters, the solution is easy: remove them, and place an oval... So there is always a plan B if you fit letters, it will never undervalue a gun.

I send you a sample of a family symbol, place directly in the stock... Not gold, why would I need gold? I suspect it to be brass. But the result for me is second to none.... Fit an oval with the symbol engraved... it is not the same at all, at least for me!!!

I will post the result of initial letters in the stock when I get the image.

But here is an example of my dads business card holder in leather, with the initials in brass . The letters have a peg that is bent inside. Again, letters could have been stamped as usual, but placing metal ones, gives a quality and detailed aspect (I think)
