    Engravings

    Now that I can see the scrollwork clearly, I can verify that the work was done by one of several Japanese engravers who worked for GIs during the occupation period. Japanese scrollwork looks, in some ways like the German work they are copying but the Japanese have distinctive characteristics...

    Engravings

    JJ Roberts' point about silver inlaid animals is a valid one, however, the photos are too poor to get a good look at the scrollwork. The scrollwork is the key to identification. A larger and well-lit image will be needed for proper attribution.

    Sam, Your scroll on that plate looks very similar to Jack's.

    Question: Who was the Master Engraver??

    Could be Griebel, but he invariably signed his work. In any case it was done by a German or Austrian trained engraver.

    Engraver ID please

    The image is far too small for me to make any attempt at attribution. I can, however, see enough of the left panel to tell that that part is not by any gun engraver that I am familiar with.

    Identities of Engravers with Initials DB and NN

    I've got nothing on your Winchester. I'm not sure that the DB is the engraver's mark. The engraving and carving look very much like German or Austrian work. Kornbrath or Griebel work would look very similar, but those guys clearly always signed their work. I checked my source for Belgian...

    My fabulously engraved Winchester Model 21

    Your 21 was engraved in Germany. German work, in the post-war era, is very distinctive. Until recently, German engravers did not sign their work. Most likely the gun was ordered by a GI through the PX then turned over to a German engraver. There was one who worked in conjunction with the...
