Jeff, the first time I went to your Photobucket site I was able to see a few pictures, now I only get the one. The one set I did see showed the top of the barrel and was marked Field. Beautiful engravings and I'm guessing your grandfather had them engraved as he had both as you described. Unless he was good friends with the engraver, I could not imagine how much it cost to have them engraved, but regardless it was expensive. As to value, unless someone really wants these they are just an upgraded Field grade, but to you a priceless piece of memorabilia. To get a real price you would have to take it to someone that knows engraving. Like I stated, that is beautiful engravings, and there might be the engravers name some where in there and would add to the value.
