I have never seen this type of engraving. Is this factory? Very cool gun.

Frank Tracy was the Secretary of the Albany Gun Club in 1912 & 1913. No other hits in the Sporting Life archives

That's a really nice gun, original or not.

I have only seen one other such shield and it was on a AHE or AAHE at Robin Hollow. They have had that gun for a few years now.

The engraving looks original to me. Jim Hall posted some pictures awhile back of two? of his guns with deep relief engraving. That would make a fine shooter with those demensions. If it only had hammers!!
