I agree Kevin, that one would expect to be able to refer to a list of contract workers who would have been independent contractors who might have done work for various gunmakers.
It is no secret that a number of the very best engravers of the day did contract work (presumably at their homes) for various gunmakers and we’ve seen this in print. But still there is no list.
