Good info. Shocks me three guns app 80 years old have almost identical engraving but rose scroll engraving has been copied many times... all looks like all the engravers must have been related.I guess I'm more ok with banner engraving if Joe and LeFusil are but when I said I was leery of what I've learned is called banner engraving I meant to say I was leery who made it... but I'm a big W C Scott fan and Westley Richards and I know they made trade guns.My first hammer gun had banner engraving and it was a Acme...evidently a common name of the time... in Belgium! also bought a Hamilton hammer antique... my sons name is Hamilton.... I think Acme made it too!Sold them for someone to make a Lamp! I guess they were considered lamp quality.
Thanks for all the input I still haven't held it yet but if I have any more questions about it I'll post.
