I have never seen this type of engraving. Is this factory? Very cool gun.

That's a really nice gun, original or not.

[Steve Huffman]

Is the shield correct ?

[Dean Romig]

I have only seen one other such shield and it was on a AHE or AAHE at Robin Hollow. They have had that gun for a few years now.

The engraving looks original to me. Jim Hall posted some pictures awhile back of two? of his guns with deep relief engraving. That would make a fine shooter with those demensions. If it only had hammers!!
