Oval Engraving
I have a partially re-finished CHE that I am having restored by Turnbull. The gun was shipped to an individual in 1904. According to the research letter the order states "Engrave name on shield". I'm used to seeing initials engraved on shields or ovals. I've not seen examples of full names engraved other than on presentation guns. Is it more common for order instructions to state "Engrave initials on shield"? As a result of the refinish, there is no engraving. The owner was a very interesting individual (Parker Pages article....?) and I'd like to have his name engraved. Do any of you have examples of full name engraving style that you would share a photo of that I could give Turnbull to match? I haven't ruled out initials since they were so beautifully done by the factory engravers. Thanks.
