Thanks Volleyfire and all of you who commented. The gun did catch my eye when I saw it, especially the engraving . Another friend who retails thousands of guns did suggest Joseph Loy as the engraver. I am not qualified to say, but do have a couple of favorite known engravers which I can recognize. This is not one of them. Another friend pointed out that the engraving reminded him of some Nichols and Lefever guns and also a John Nichols. I do notice the gun's locks appear identical to those used by Nichols and Lefever, and John Nichols. Probably the same lock source from England.

I understand there are knowledgeable Remington collectors who know something on Giddings. It would be fun to hear from them.
