Hi Iwanna,

Welcome to the forum!

I wasn't familiar with your gun so I had to look it up. Judging from the MSRP I was 99.9% certain it was not hand engraved. (typically, hand engraved guns start at $4000+ new for the Spanish varieties, for example)

Then I found this on a features list for your gun:

"removable side plates are etched with aesthetic engravings of game scenes (Grade II model) "

The key word being "etched", which is not "engraved" by the literal use of the terms. If it was hand engraved they definitely would not use the term "etched" because of a negative (machine done) connotation.
