At the time of production of the two guns in question, might the possibility of a differential in the rate of pay for a top engraver explain the difference in dollars credited?

I don't think there is any period in time that $25.00 would buy the engraving on a $400.00 Parker. I think this customer just didn't get a very good deal.

I went back and checked the original order to make sure I didn't make a mistake (just ask Egger, I do make mistakes) that the 25 was a dollar value and not a percentage. A 25% discount would make more sense. When they wrote up the order, at the far right of the order they have the gun at 400 then under it 25 then subtracted for a total of 375 so it's a dollar value not a percentage discount.

We have always had the option to agree to the terms of a contract, or not to agree with the terms. Tha buyer, in the case of the $25 credit, apparently agreed to it. He accepted the 'deal' and had no complaint.

The person who ordered the gun was filthy rich, and I guess he didn't care about the price.
