Finding the Engraver

[Jim Fields]

I am in possession of a Winchester mod 90 22 long made in 1915 that’s been fully engraved and nickel plated my question is who done this work it’s not signed but it has an out of place marking on it here is a few picks maybe you can look and help me out thanks to all

Nice rifle from another age. Not near the shading seen on contemporary work these days. I like it.

Very nice piece you have there, you might get a bit more traffic on the general engraving board.

Would love to see a bit bigger complete picture of both sides of the receiver though.

Roger Bleile is the guy in the know.​

You have a set of engravers initial's shown in the second picture you posted.
Maybe Roger can figure them out for you.

Looks like a stylized combination T J F to me.
Or some other order of those letters.
But just a guess on my part
But maybe Roger can figure it out if he looks in. He's our expert.
He may also just recognize the style of engraving and shading.
