So, here's a question, which popped up while I was reading another thread.
The thread showed this .22 target pistol with relatively modern lines engraved in well, the only style I've really seen, using the swirling "wave" patterns and the classical lines.
Now, being a bit of an aesthetic snob, this didn't appeal to me, but it did get me thinking.
Where would one go to get a contemporary or modern engraving job done?
By contemporary I mean a design that one wouldn't find, for instance on a single action, or a hunting shotgun. Essentially a departure from the normal "swirlygig."
As an example here's some pics. I hope they work.

This would be an example of a more modern design versus, for instance this:

IS there any specific reason we're slapping the same design we used on an SA Revolver on everything ranging from a Seacamp up to a Sig? Any input here? What are your opinions?
