I think having someone's name on the gun (who is just a regular Joe) decreases the value. I have a Model 21 that has someone's name on the rib. It a Custom Grade with #2 engraving. I expect to get less than the gun is worth, which sold for $10,000 in the Custom Shop, but a lot more than the $5,000.00 that I paid for it. By the way, the name on the gun is Fred Remington. Any of you guys know him? He is supposed to have lived up in the north east. And from what I hear, he had several 21s.
