Reminds me of the “Not the Czar’s Parker”
Very nice though! .

The engraving on Smith #5 and Crown grades is some of my favorite. The gold work looks well done. (I'd be tempted to take the gold off and use the proceeds to make the gun look more original, but it's still a great gun.)

That is a beautiful LC! The gold would not encourage my purchasing, however.

Like everyone else, my preference is for completely original guns. However I like it and would not alter it back, especially with your initials on it. These guns have a story and life that exceeds ours. If it looked hokey or not well done it might be different.
