Yes, 1 through 9 I believe were hand engraved, Posibly with a phuematic graver. I have been told they are much faster to use than just pushing the graver or malet tapping the graver ? Also the last five are of an old worn original DHE 12ga, so the edges of the engraving is somewhat polished/burnished, so to speak.
1 through 9 look a lot closer to the original than 10 and 11, if you study them for awhile and consider they are done at least 50 years apart, the original has a lot more wear and the reciver is white, no color case left either.
