OK, conversely, what about an oval on an old gun that's never been engraved. Would you do it?

At one time I had a DHE 30 inch VR trap gun that had the name and town (Cozad NE ) of the owner engraved on the left barrel. I thought about having it taken off but decided against it as it was now a part of the guns history. Research didn't turn up anything so the gentleman wasn't a top ranked ATA shooter. I'm glad I left it and sorry I sold the gun.

If your gun belonged to me I'd leave the initials as they are.
