    Question: Who was the Master Engraver??

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

    Hand engraving micro script lettering

    Looks Great Sam! Reminds me when I bought a 'scope many years ago. Cranked it up to 30 power and proceeded to cut my name. Looked like I was cutting Grand Canyon! When I backed off to look at it, it was too small to read! I stayed with my Optivisor.
