Who the hell is J. Severino? Or did he mean Jasper Salerno? Saw a Browning Super advertized once as "factory original engraving" done by "The Master's" sister, "R. Bee." Website posting dialog degenerated into somebody interpreting the blurry signature on the engraving as "B. Bee" istead of R. Bee and launching into an acrimonious diatribe on trumped-up (read "upgraded") guns. Must have been their crazy cousin, Bumble Bee. The M42 picutered must definitely be a "rare and important firearm", as the auction house lingo goes. Love the rarified atmosphere of conjectural superguns! KBM
