Hello Doc,
I agree with your statement, completely...
But if I remove myself from the element of what was done to some really fine Navy lugers, I can still see the dedication and artistry of the craftsman (or woman) who spent years honing their engraver's skill...from this strictly near-sighted perspective, I see lots of beauty there...
Similar to those photos of the engraved carbine I sent you...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
