The final version was selected in November of 1960 based on the exquisite work of Marie Louis Magis, FN's top lady master engraver, whose rendition of the game scenes executed on a 20 gauge gun, surrounded by the scrollwork of Jacquez Lodewyc remains a hallmark of FN engraving at its very best. My RKLT Pointer Grade factory 2-barrel set is the work of Mdm. Magis, and I cherish it.
I have seen a Magis pointer once and it was a work of art. Congrats.
