That is probably the most elaborately engraved firearm of any type I've seen. Not that I focus on engraved guns, or know much about them.

The style of work and it's depth is particularly striking. Also the use of stippling and the design may be a visual signature of an individual engraver.

Anyone recognize the style, or where it was likely done? European with the oak leaves?

I don't see numbering in places you'd expect to find a military Luger marked, so it's possible that this started out as a commercial Luger. Is it in .30 Luger caliber or 9mm?
