Whoever did all this work certainly paid attention to details and built a heck of a stock. Remember, the Mathewson stock was capped pistol grip. I am going with Turnbull's shop or Robert Runge or someone just as talented for the rib engraving. The whole package is pretty nice. Photographs of the rib inscription from different angles may confirm that the words "Titanic" and/or "Steel" are engraved, not roll marked.
