Well, as that I am currently also putting together a VH to CH upgrade, I had to look at how much money I had to go around for all the engraving work. Also, I was not quite wanting to do all the bolster sculpting required to make it a grade 3 and up style gun.
Since this gun is clearly a custom shooter and not intended to be a faithfull grade 2 replica. I do intend on giving the engraver a little free reign as to what to put down as long as it is similar in style to the a grade 2 gun. Which leaves things open a little for interpretation since grade 2 guns varied a bit in complexity over the years.
My first thought was to just do very simple border engraving and keep it VERY simple. But I know I would regret that later on.
