I'm interested in the side by side comparison of the telltale details that will distinguish the engravers from each other.

This would be a very good opportunity for all of us to see and discuss it here.

Too bad those great old engravers didn't sign their work.

True. But Griffin and Howe (and other companies) didnt really want that to be an issue. Occasionally youll find guns engraved for individuals outside of G&H but theyre not common. I have a shotgun engraved by Fugger that is actually signed and Ive seen a few other pieces with his name. Kornbraths signature is even more rare and Im not aware of anything signed by Swensen.
