Specialty grade engraving

Posted by John Reed on May 29, 2024, 8:35 am

I just picked up this 1919 year specialty 20ga. This has been a dream gun of mine for a few years. I've always favored the engraving on the specialty grade guns. We're there different engravers who did these engravings on this grade of gun, or did they have certain ones like Al Kraus who did these? I would have thought Al would have only done the upper grade guns. I've attached a few pics for eye candy.. image uploader

Nice John. From Bro. Tom. It seems likely that the engravers were allowed to do the duckie as they wished. A couple of other variants, and of course special orders
