One thing I would emphasize is the pleasure of ownership as well. Not everything is based on monetary value.
Many years ago I owned an old black powder Enfield Snider. It was a piece of junk. It sprayed bullets everywhere and if you could get a 3ft group you were doing well. But every now and then I took it to the range and played with it because it was a lot of fun with smoke, powder and flame everywhere. We would all take turns to see if we could actually hit anything and had fun doing it.
So even though it was worth nothing as a collectors item and it shot like crap................I still enjoyed it.
And so it is with engraving sometimes. If you have a gun and want it engraved, even though the gun isn't worth much.............it doesn't matter. Just enjoy having a good engraved gun.
Not all of us can afford to have a Rembrandt but we can all afford an original painting at least once in our lifetimes
Cheers
