After spending a career studying and helping others learn about aesthetics, I should have known better than to comment on those guns.
But, let me be clear: Gournet is as fine an engraver as there is today, and Brian's gun is a masterwork. If I wanted a custom engraved gun, I would seek Gournet's work...period.
