My opinion and mine only. The little medallions that collector guns seem to have attached don't suit me AT ALL. The Win. 94 commemoratives, the Marlin 39, Stevens Crack Shot, etc. All these silly brass plates just reek "no class" to me and just look like HEIL. I see these guns in the racks and do not pay any attention to them. It is the same thing to me as seeing a S.S.no engraved on the gun. I sure do like the idea of the grip cap or butt plate though. It can be removed, added to, etc. and does not take away from the gun. I read loud and clear that the gun is for you and your family only. If that is true, why mess it up for the others to be turned off by it. Even doing this to a single shot H&R or any other gun, makes an already inexpensive gun to look even cheaper that it already is. Just my take on it and mine alone....maybe.
