Pre-64 Winchester 70 with cool geometric inlays

Howdy,
I just bought a nice '53 Winchester 70 with a Leupold scope. One thing I really like about the rifle is that someone had skillfully inlayed some Apache or Navajo looking designs into the stock. Would such a modification increase or decrease the value of the firearm?

    Hey Bert,
    Thats what I was thinking, at least I didn't pay full pop for it. But I don't care because they were tastfully done and I like them!
    Thanks much! Felix

    Post a pic, It depends on who did it and if it is desireable. If you like it then it's desireable to you. That means other may pay for it as well.[8D]

    But Bert is the expert on these.

    You are quite welcome.

    Generally speaking, any post factory modification made to an otherwise collectable Winchester is not going to enhance the value to a collector. However, if it appeals to you (or someone else), then in this case it did not hurt anything. As long as you are happy with it and like it, that is all that counts at the moment.
