Default Engraving ?

Good afternoon all, I have a question that needs answering by people more knowledgeable than I regarding Parkers. I am brand new to The Parker brand, and loving it. I have a Trojan circa 1917 w/ 30 inch barrels which to me is just gorgeous although pretty well all o the case color is gone. The gun is tight as a tick, everything is straight and squared away on this gun, as far as I can tell anyway, and with great barrels. I am an amateur engraver and I am pretty confidant in my skills and I would like to engrave the gun with some Parker style scroll work and hunting scenes. I saw a DH I believe it was the other day and the style of scroll work is actually my favorite style to design and cut. My question is, will engraving hurt the value of the gun? I love the gun and plan to keep it but I am hesitant to do anything to alter the original condition. Also, what are your opinions on redoing the CCH on the gun? Thanks in advance to everyone, I look forward to reading your opinions.
