That scroll work, Layout and design, looks similar to some of the factory Winchester engraving. If you look in the book, Winchester Engraving by R.L Wilson on pg. 394 there is a very similar layout. To my eyes the quality of the inlay is also similar to factory work. Of course an independent artist may have been asked to replicate that kind of work. I'll bet Roger will know what's up.
How does one get in touch with Roger.

i don’t know if you can change the title of your post to something that describes what you’re after. Maybe, “looking for info on this engraving.” He’d probably see that eventually. You could probably send him a message too. Roger Bleile
normally he checks the forum frequently. you could try to pm him
This rifle may have been engraved by a Japanese engraver they do inlays with silver. J.J.

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.
Hope these are better.

Lonzie 55, Is there any engraving on the barrel? the Japanese engravers engraved scrolls on the barrels of shot guns and rifles. J.J.
No engraving barrel, only on both sides of receiver.
