The two and a half months of work are in the engraving and the gold inlay.

Eh... I'd have to win the lottery big for that. This is probably worth a chunk more than my house, given that it started as a custom double rifle and had that kind of decoration applied.

I just know the engraver.

Paulius (Paul) Lantuch. He used to work for Ruger, back when Ruger had an engraving department.

I think that this is definitly one of those cases where if you have to ask, you can't afford it. ;)

Just the engraving, without materials, is probably on the order of $3-4K. The gold inlay adds cost. The gun, I couldn't even venture a guess.
