While we are on the discussion of engraving, if it's not too far off topic, I'd like to know how you guys that are obviously keen on analyzing the quality of engravings might explain some of the things you look at to judge quality on the engravings one might find on the break open action's top lever fin? I've heard that the engraving there is a good indicator of attention to detail elsewhere.
How do you analyze the engravings there?
Take the example found on the OP link for that Meridian and compare to this one:
http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-fo...un_id=100578497The Meridian to my eye looks like it's not as fine a cut, is there anything else to say it's not as nice? Looking strictly at the top lever fin of course.
