I have two engraved Colt SAA 's, bottom one was commissioned by me, the other I bought, I also have my trap gun engraved along with a custom Colt 1911.
Good engraving is an art form, it should enhance the beauty of the piece, not overwhelm it. You should see the gun first, then notice the fine engraving.
