Georgeous work!! Terrible price!!
Not my cup of tea either, so much so that I would politely refuse if I was given it for nothing

Its a lot of work - lets hope somebody appreciates it
Rossendale Target Shooting Club. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening 7 - 10pm.
I couldn't get a fine enough view from the pictures. When it comes to engraving then its the quality of it that adds or distracts. Poor engraving can lower the price. Certainly there is a following of good engraving work. The quality and how the design compliments the piece. No idea how good this is.
Depends what disposable income you have and if engraving is worth it to you. I like it on shotguns and some rifles but I don't have the funds for the quality I admire.
My FWB65 is factory and I like it just so.
Not exactly Don Blocksidge is it?
I like subtle engraving that has been blacked, this doesn't look good, sorry Jochen.
I like it! Lots of work has went into it and the lines have been followed.
Granted its not super classy but its nice. Must have been a brave or rich person who gave the go ahead.

Yuk...
Too many guns, or not enough time?
This is not my cup of tea but I am sure that some one would appreciate it.

Like most of the other posters on this thread, it's not my cup of tea, but I can at least acknowledge the great skill that's gone into the work, unlike with some of the other 'improved' FWB 65s I've seem. I can also see why people think so highly of this pistol that they want to 'individualise' their own example. Some others:

It's those carved grips that are putting me off. Looks like something Don Robinson made!
