Re: Engraving - This gun displays what Austin referred to as "stamped" engraving where it is actually die-pressed into the steel rather than cut with a graver, possibly allowing for lower cost due to the fact that 'man hour' piece work would have been less. If it were hand engraved I would suggest a consequential 'higher cost/higher grade'. Others may disagree.
