Bruce Day is a student of C grade guns. I wonder what his thoughts are on a Loy connection to Rondel motif guns. ??

If Mr. Day chooses to respond, I would hope that he would answer the question I asked in my initial post at the start of this thread.

Loy Hallmarks
Like Dean I have seen various theories on hidden signatures, initials, and tell tale hallmarks of Joseph Loy, since as with Remington tradition engravers in the early 1900's rarely signed their work.
This photo from Jim Atkins shows what the late Charles Semmer, author of "Remington Doubles", felt were the engravers initials J and L worked into the border of an engraving pattern on a Parker. I call them "Bookends" and have seen them on many different manufacturer's guns, over a broad timeframe, and what appear to be many different "Hands" that engraved them.

Those early high grade Remington 11's are some of my favorite guns. I have a beat up D grade only though. Still searching for an F I can afford. Cabelas sold a F for 999.99! Way below what it was worth in my opinion. Wish I had seen that one! Still on the web if anyone cares to view it....

A customer who would go for that Remington is none other than Tom Selleck, if it was ever for sale.

A friend of mine has developed a nodding acquaintance with Selleck at gun shows. This same friend used to run with Jim Leyland, the retired Tiger's manager, and had him personalize a special Detroit Tiger's hat "From Jim Leyland to Tom Selleck". I understand it is now Tom's go-to gun show hat
