I am curious what your price range is, if it's to be a heirloom piece you'll want to buy something nice...
What about a nice cased double? And rather than engraving the firearm, which would be very difficult to do 'tastefully', how about a custom label inside the cover of the shotgun case, with space to add future owners names?
Something like the pic below, but tailored to suit your needs?
Cheers

P.S. My wife & I both have custom Cooper rifles, the serial number is our initials & year of birth... Just another idea for you, should you go the custom shop route...

Mark Mags is right, the memories is what matters. And I like the idea of including photos and stories, your custom case could include a spot for them...
But I still think something nicer is in order... Case in point... I imagine whichever family member inherits my Parallelo will be very very happy. (Hopefully my daughter has some interest in hunting/shooting... If so, a custom stock will be in order before I kick off...)
Cheers

Quite nice guns, Jay. I very much agree that the only guns there's any real chance of handing on down through future generations in Canada are break action shotguns, but even that's only going to be if Canadians regrow a brain, which isn't exactly a sure thing. Don't know where you found the Parallelo but if you come across any more, please consider PMing me.
