I saw this on Armslist, not my cup of tea but I am curious what people's opinions on it are. https://www.armslist.com/posts/8838096/minneapolis-minnesota-handguns-for-sale--mauser-factory-engraved-and-gold-appointed-mauser-hsc--boxed--unfired

It closely follows a known factory design, so I would identify it as a factory engraved example.

Wouldn't this embellishment be more correctly identified as "acid etched" rather than "engraved"?

If it is acid etched rather than engraved is it still possible to be a factory option?

This one is as factory as it can be.
