Where, in fact it is so extremely rare to find an engraver's mark or signature on his work, I don't know this to be a fact but, I think it must have been Parker Bros. policy to prohibit this practice.

Yes, in fact it was an "official/unofficial" Parker Bros. policy for their engravers to not sign their work. The corporate line so to speak was that the guns were a product of Parker Bros. engravers, not a specific individual. Nonetheless, there are a few examples where the more feisty or individualistic personalities prevailed and they did sign their work as Dean has pointed out.
