Kensal,
Your project has enthralled me and I don't know why. Please let us know what you find out. Btw I went to site that Garth sent, and saw a gun with an engraving for Wilhelm II. Very ornate, Germans like heavy engraving and scroll work. There was a very pronounced W on the engraving with the crown included as well. Btw I did see some of the other type set for that era lettering and I am convinced that the letter engraved is an M and not a W. But hey that is just my two cents. If you hit a dead end on W then may consider M angle.
Good luck and let us know what the German Gun collectors come up with. Very interesting project to sleuth around on. I did see some Wilhelm II photos with him holding game and around game, but never saw any of them holding any guns.
