"Those who appreciate beauty in its myriad forms can admire the artistry in fine arms one need not be a target shooter; hunter; or collector. Engraving and related embellishments are traditional areas in arms and form a common bond, from the earliest weapons to the most modern sporting rifles, with other fields of decorative arts particularly in metal, wood, and ivory. It is possible to sense a certain communication with the original owner of an engraved arm simply by studying its decorative details. "
