Let's see some pic's of your SxS's & O/U's

No engraving is a choice, not proof of a lower grade or an indication of personal use. Some prefer their guns less adorned, and some of the finest guns ever made have little or no engraving, if the client wished it. Yes, some cost is saved, but sometimes less engraving shows off other aspects of the gun even better. I wouldn't be put off by a 'plain' gun, if, as Canvasback says, the quality is there. And little or no engraving is much better than bad engraving.

Here is a very plain Belgian double, but the essential quality is there. Its simple attributes contributed to its low selling price, less than a trip to the supermarket these days. Better still, the lack of embellishment meant no one snapped it up before I did.

Here are a few pics of mine. Glad I brought it out. Just looking down the barrels is nice. Had it for a lot of years.

Just picked up this Beretta, but the stocks had been amateur’d and less than ideal. The fore stock looks homemade and has no checkering and the butt looks like it was sanded down and colour matched so the checkering isn’t as crisp as it should be.

Is a gun like this worth the $4K+ to refurbish?
