For me, too much engraving is similar to a gaudy metal flake paint job on a beautiful sports car....and gold triggers and enlays are really tacky looking to me......(and yes, I have some).....your opinion......

Third world dictators love engraving and gold/silver plating to the extreme for some reason.......signifies power maybe....?....

It seems so many shotgun lovers base the quality of a piece soley on the engraving.....?.....Is it like makeup on a hooker or not, the more the merrier......?........Does it show quality and usefulness above that of the same piece that has no engraving.....?.....

Where do you draw the line.....?.....
