In fact, a buddy and I have considered doing an article on early engravers. You may be amazed by how many companies 'farmed' out the engraving work and how many engravers jumped from company to company...as did the general work force. As Dave hints, you'll find some of the "best American engraving", including high end Remingtons, on many other maker's guns. Please feel free to enlighten me if such has been written before in depth.
