Hi Bruce!
Yes - you can shoot steel shot out of your repro safely as it is choked I/C-M. Just remember though, typically - your MOD choke becomes a FULL choke with steel - so anything tighter than a MOD I'd probably steer clear of...
As for the engraving - I'll defer to the other folks, as I'm not sure how the repros were engraved? that being said - I do like mine - and is my "go to" 28GA many times for partridge & woodcock..
Hope this helps!
John
