I wouldn't touch the engraving. I'd like handling it and thinking about how much time the gun spent in someones hand to have worn the engraving a bit smooth like it is. It's unbelievable really. How can a human hand wear engraving like that?? What a great honest gun. I like it just the way it is. I'd make sure it's functionally sound and safe and take care of any corrosion and wood issues it might have such as oil soaking and thin finish but that's about it.
