Depends on what you really like; it should also be a 'classic' gun that bespeaks quality in the first place. No sense putting good money into a gun that doesn't make the grade. I have two engraved guns and have arranged for two others in the past (retirement gifts). They were: a 1913 made 1911; a GI 1911A1 completely rehabilitated; a new Smith M60 and M66. BTW, there is some lousy work out there alongside the good work. Suggest you check out the Firearms Engravers Guild (FEGA) site, read Meeks' book, and look at every engraved gun you can for a while. Since metal doesn't erase well and you may have it a long time, make sure you can live with it ten years later.
