That's lovely. I'd agree on the matte finish (especially given the dings it's likely to receive in use); the only thing I'd suggest on layout is that I'd have framed it with a border just to break up the outline - twisted wire, scalloped edge or simple line (running wheat or similar I don't think would fit with the clean design of the crest). But then I'm quite capable of over-egging things.
Next one scrolls everywhere? :D

Thanks for the comments, the sponge block is a good suggestion, I would love to able to take credit for the engraving, unfortunately it is not my work,.
I have my engraving done by a master engraver "Ray Hood' originally from London, I will not live long enough to become as accomplished as he is

That's a lovely soft looking finish Dennis. Think I will try it.
