You are right about the different styles. Rich Anderson's gun was engraved before Franz Marktl came to the United States. The top view of your gun is beautiful. We sure would like to see good pictures of the rest of the gun. From your last picture, it seems that this gun was in fact engraved for William Eckmeyer. I guess I was wrong about my old friend Willie and his taste in engravers. Franz Marktl was very approachable when he first came here. His talent was and is remarkable. I will repeat my question, where did you find this great gun?
