I am no expert on guns and know nothing about any Alexander Brown rotary bolt. My knowledge and understanding is very limited, I will be the first to admit. You guys are the experts.

I don't know who the Lefever engravers were. I've heard that many of these companies used engravers who worked for one then another or who freelanced.

Thanks Bruce for posting those , To me the Lefevers are most beautiful and tastefully engraved of all guns , with LC Smiths running a close second . I think they used the same engravers . And that one with Chain Damascus WOW!

I would think that a lot of the Lefever engraving was done by various members of the Glahn family. Here is some similar design work by two different companies --



CE-Grade Lefever.



Tobin Arms Mfg. Co. No. 55E Model Grade.
