Gustave Young Engraving ?

Shotgun by Habich. Single bbl trap gun around 1900. Engraving looks very much like Young's work. Opinions solicited. Thanks.

Your shotgun is very nicely engraved but it is not the work of Gustave Young. Gustave Young died in 1895.

I know that. Habich was in business when Young was still alive.

Regardless, stylistically, this is not Gustave Young's work.
