I work for a company that manufactures a Glazed Porcelain product that has it's roots in the late 1890's. We have a very large collection of ours and our competitor's product dating back to the beginning. And it is amazing how finishes looked back then vs. today. Today customers whine about even the smallest cosmetic flaw where the material back then was on the absolute other end of the spectrum.
And I think it was not uncommon for different skill levels of engravers to work on different areas of the gun. ie: Game scenes, scroll, line borders, etc...
