Engraving
I have a 1907 VH 12 that I received in parts. The stock showed multiple repairs and was missing the part next to the receiver. There was a light layer of crud/rust on everything. The bores are decent and the action locks up tightly. Upon cleaning the trigger plate I noticed what I at first I called a stain, but upon looking at the picture of the Pierce Gun on page 8 of the Parker Pages I realized that it was an engraving. It appears to be an engraving of a woman next to a tree. It is very faint. Is there a catalog of engravings that were on Parkers of that era? Will a research letter tell me if it is a factory engraving?
