There are about 20 pics of Pawn shop style engraving in this forum to look at in the last year alone, none of them look like this engraving....
Pawn shop engraving is done with punches and simple cut mostly straight lines, not really normal engraving tools, and the patterns are simple. This has actual cut engraving on it, at least from the pics I can see so far.
Also looks like its been refinished, maybe over the old engraving? The hammer/trigger/rear sight have all been nickled?
