G&H did that to a Brit boxlock they imported for me a few years ago. Fortunately, it was discretely engraved and the gun in question was not an original condition Boss, etc., but I still was not thrilled

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

John:
If you get a gun through any AYA or Arrieta importer you will see the name on the top of the barrel.
Does not matter if you get a gun from Griffin & Howe, Orvis, New England custom guns , etc etc. You will see the name on the bbl.
If it really is a issue, you will have to have it done and pay for it yourself.

John, that is absolutely bogus. Following the law, the mark can be hidden and very professional looking. Ours were engraved by a jeweler with 100 years in the engraving business. It does not have to be done at the point of manufacture as I understand it. If I am wrong, please enlighten me. Were we violating the law by picking our guns up at Customs and then having them marked by the jeweler before delivery to the customer? Again, enlighten me.

John, you got me there. However, your mark or G&H's mark on the barrel, professionally applied, is different from a roughly stamped mark of Joe's Gun Shop.

My AYA No 2's were nicely marked by the importers UNDER the forend where it not noticeable, as follows:
"Importer AyA USA Old Saybrook CT"
"N. E. Custom Gun Service Plainfield NH"
Both of my Grade II Ugartecheas are roll marked on top of the barrel - but I don't care on an inexpensive gun.
