In most quality guns, this shouldn't even be an issue. Unless very deeply engraved, initials on a good oval or shield can probably be polished right out of it to make it blank again.

My VB 20 has some unknown Yooper's initials on it. If I ever sell it, I'll have to come up with a Pulitzer-quality story for them ("Buy the gun, not the story--Sell the story, not the gun....").

I just use one gold initial. That make people think the gun was owned by royalty, and (maybe) it was! I think you can still buy them from either G&H or Galazans - certainly the best makers offer them. Although I recently did have a stockmaker tell me he had never inlaid initial before. I leave the stock ovals blank even though they can be polished out.
