Not sure if you can see them too well in this photo, but it is raining, so it is not the best time to go snap better ones.

I really dig the cinelli engravings, and couldn't see the windsor ones!
I just want to ogle at more cool ones, I could care less if they're not high-end...

The cinelli coat of arms is really the all time classic, and what nitto copied.
there are some other pretty cool ones... like some of the ones with the geographic shape of countries engraved on them...
the think maes bars have pretty cool engravings too.

It was goregeous but I just had to make it fit into a stem for 25.4mm bars
....it shows.

So far, I have to vote for the GB / Dawes bars!
Has anyone tried to do this kind of engraving by hand? I'd love to customize my bars, but wouldn't know how to go about it....
