Same estimate as the one without engraving.

Morally flawed
Liberace would have loved it!
I sure wouldn’t throw it out! Lol
They've got the description wrong.
The case does not contain an original Valvespout oil can, it contains a removable spout oil can, with a hell of a lot of difference in price between the two, but I would hope anyone prepared to bid for such a rifle would know the difference, and I don't know why they specifically mention a reblued barrel as the whole rifle has been reblued.
Clearly an acquired taste, and one you've never acquired, obviously.
I tend to agree this engraving doesn't improve the rifle at all, and in some ways detracts from it mightily. But I can't help but admire the great skill that went into decorating it. Very hard to imagine actually using it, ever...

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
I do like engraving, but that is not the best l have seen. but l wouldn't say no to it all the same.
