There were a handfull of Winchester shotguns around in the 70's & 80's (M12's) for sale with Disney characters done up in large gold and silver inlays. IIRC they were aftermarket engraved. Many by Angelo Bee and not factory. I'm sure there are some factory jobs though. There's a few Colt pistols around with cartoon image engraving on them, usually with gold inlay. I know of a 'set' of Colt 25 autos with gold Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck inlays on them. Early pistols recently engraved (within the last 30+yrs), but done by two different engravers, and then,,years apart from each other. One was a factory engraver, the other a factory contract engraver for a short time. There are others. They got about the same responses as this S&W did. A few like it for the novelty, but for the most part they became a difficult re-sell. The shotguns came up for sale often over the years but I haven't seen them for a while. Maybe someone has finally found a keeper!
