Herstal FN, used a graduated engraving system. Apprentices cut borders and light scroll, journeymen more complicated scrolls and scenes and Master engravers the really expensive guns. But it was not out of the ordinary to find all three grades of engravers had worked on one gun with the Master sometimes taking the credit. I wonder if someone of Goughs talent sometime just cut the roundel scenes while others did the repetitious work
