James,
I pulled her out of the safe and counted 14 five petal flowers and two additional 4 petal flowers in the barrel engraving.

There are so many small details in the engraving like the fleur de lis at the base of the skeleton buttplate. Every time I look at it I see another detail. You can even see the Gournet signature in the engraving on edge banding near where the trigger meets the receiver. Double click the fourth picture to blow it up to see the signature.

Very classy addition of Geoffroy's signature. I like it.
