Question: Any way to know who engraved this ?

[Dean]

Hello everyone , I bought this at an estate sale for a couple of dollars to use as a reference piece. I can not see any markings showing the type of gun it is from, or any markings that would help with identifying the engraver.

Anyone recognize the style, it would be interesting to know who engraved it.

It is just a guess but it does not look like hand engraved. Looks more like eroded to me.

The scrollwork has been acid etched on a production line. The action is probably a standard Italian O/U type that has been used by many Brecian makers over the years.

Great find. Whoever did the design and layout knew the art, and took pains to mimic the look of hand engraving. Looks like the repeating patterns were done with templates.
