I started thinking about the bizarre notion of engraving a 101, until I read the backstory. Yay for him, and excellent work!

I think I would've replaced the awful fake wood grips with something more elegant to frame the wonderful engraving.

Is the engraver someone who's currently practicing his craft?

Thanks for showing this, Rick.
