Was there much regional differences in screw head (pin) engraving patterns within the British gun trade? I recently had the chance to look at and photograph a variety of screwhead patterns on Birmingham guns from the 1870 - 1940 era. The grade of the guns ran from a Greener Empire up through a very nicely engraved Thos Turner "Levisimus" built on a W.R. Action.
I would like to build up a library of such patterns/layouts to be shared but if this has already been done, could someone tell me where I might access this info. If it has not been done, I would volunteer to compile this info for everyone.
If someone else is already doing this, I will send what I have to you!
