I am always amazed at the number of guns I see with those ovals left blank.

If it was a gun I bought with every intention of it being a keeper for life then I would absolutely get it engraved. If it's something I wasn't sure about or bought only to turn a profit then I would absolutely NOT get it engraved.

How difficult is it to have these ovals replaced? Is that an option? Obviously personalization on other parts of the gun I would probably not want to jack around with, but could you not have a new blank brass oval professionally installed?
