Generally speaking, embellishment adds value only if it is contemporary with the gun. Signed and documented modern engraving by a top artist on the order of Leonard Francolini is an exception to the rule, improving all but the rarest of the vintage originals. Nothing of the sort can be seen here.

Too bad that the late pitchman Billy Mays isn't around to give these more of a push.
