As I recall, according to the Parker books of all knowledge only a few D-grade guns were engraved by a well-known engraver in the '30's (again, as I recall). I don't remember his name but his D-grade embellishments were quite different from the norm. Otherwise my understanding is that grades below AA or higher were rarely if ever signed. In fact, it was not permitted for an engraver to sign his work (again) if I recall. The scroll work was done by the less-capable and the setters & pointers on D-grades were done by the higher-ranking engravers in house. But again, no signatures.
