Hmmm, last I checked, the British and French guns were engraved exactly the same way Belgian guns were engraved, and with the same tools,too! Amazing! Ah yes, and German guns were done the same also.
Anyone who looks at a Midas, Diana, or other such Grade 4, 3, etc and says they are "Crude" is just highlighting their own lack of knowledge about fine guns. And those guns are all still made today in Liege, "bespoke."
You can say you don't like Browning engraving, you can say you don't care for the style, but to call it crude, if you REALLY mean that, means your opinions can't be taken seriously in these forums.
I don't care for English rose and scroll, or case coloring, but I appreciate them both for what they are.
