Question: Who was the Master Engraver??

harleyman5mike · Nov 10, 2024

Can anyone out there identify who the engraver was for this 1960 Winchester Model 70?? It looks like the engraver stamped the rifle on the left rear side of the barrel with their initials inside of an oval. There is a "P", a sideways "M" and a sideways "T" combined. It looks like they tried to stamp the front of the receiver but it did not work. Thanks, Mike

The letter stamps in the oval are Winchester proof marks WINCHESTER PROOF

Perhaps Arnold Griebel?

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

Thanks Roger.

Looks similar to works by Prudhomme, but he certainly would have signed it.

It does look a lot like Prudhomme work. Roger may be closer with the idea of a German or Austrian engraver.

It could also be Joe Fugger
