Occasionally you will see low-grade guns (P-, V- and G-grade) with a little more engraving on them. These are invariably what the factory engravers refer to as "Friday afternoon" guns; instead of starting a new gun late in the day, many engravers would linger over the gun on their bench to round out the day's work, which was paid by the hour. Characteristic touches included extra "curleycues" around the screws, bolder termination tails of straight lines and the like.
