I think well done engraving is the finsihing touch on a fine gun. I will agree that there are certain guns which just don't quite look right when engraved.
In my opinion there is nothing finer than the finest bullino engraving on an Italian double gun. The engraving on the outside should match the quality on the inside. No one can see how pretty the locks are on a gun without taking it apart. They may be works of art as impressive as the engarving but you wouldn't know it, certainly not when sitting on a rack.
It's like having a Ferrari in primer coat. It'll work the same but it's the package that makes it impressive.
