Like Dean I have seen various theories on hidden signatures, initials, and tell tale hallmarks of Joseph Loy, since as with Remington tradition engravers in the early 1900's rarely signed their work.

This photo from Jim Atkins shows what the late Charles Semmer, author of "Remington Doubles", felt were the engravers initials J and L worked into the border of an engraving pattern on a Parker. I call them "Bookends" and have seen them on many different manufacturer's guns, over a broad timeframe, and what appear to be many different "Hands" that engraved them.

Sincerely, Will
