Forrest, the production total of "Custom Engraved A-1" at 300 probably includes the total number of A-1 guns intended for engraving, not the total actually engraved. Unengraved examples were sold in quantity by Galazan's, and other dealers and individuals ended up with more. In my opinion, they are a great investment if you can find one.
