I've had the ovals, on both my (1950s) 12ga. Webley & Scott and my 20ga. Parker Repro., engraved with my initials by Geoffroy Gournet. I couldn't be happier, his work is outstanding.
I am the first owner of both guns and figure why not let someone in the future know I was here. Hope it will be a family member!
I understand shield or ovals can have the initials buffed off and changed, but I wouldn't do that if somebody owned the gun first. Unless they had scratched them in with a dull nail.
