Help us pick engraving for huglu combo!

Sometimes less is preferred. Check out pictures of a Renato Gamba London, a very classy gun with a minimum of well executed tasteful engraving. Couple that with a case coloured finish and the effect would be truly special.
 
I like the first lion one, and don't see it as being cartoonish, but rather in the style of of a relic from antiquities. This may not be for everyone therefore not the best choice.

The reason I like the first lion one more than the second is because there are two distinct patterns, and sizes of scroll, creating separation and it doesn't look too busy and cluttered. If the route is no gold leaf animals, #10 or #12 are desirable for the same fact.
 
Anything without the animals, the lions look better than the birds in the antique sense, but as stated, with limited appeal. It's surprising that these ducks are even an option... we've all seen much better, realistic, images engraved on much less expensive guns. Just classic scrolling, that would have the best appeal to the largest audience.
