Help, please: Engraver Idendification

[joemckeone]

I have a engraved Perazzi shotgun signed by Bleus I would like to know if anyone knows of him. My searches have came up empty. The only bit of information I have found is he may have been employed by Fabrique National. I am in the process of redoing this gun and am interested in its history. The gun was manufactured in 1966.
Thanks Joe

Joe,

An engraver named Bleus was employed by Fabrique National. I have seen his signature stamp on various Browning Superposeds including the Midas grade. If Rocco Capece sees this post, he may be able to tell us more as Rocco was an FN engraver and knows most of those who worked there.

bye Rocco

I thank you both for your response I feel his work on this gun exceptional , I am in the process of installing new wood , the wood did not do his work justice. Beings this gun is a Perazzi maybe it was engraved after his retirement.
Thankyou Joe
