Bill, thanks for your thoughts on the engraver. This gun does not look to be Jarvis engraved, and it is too early to be engraved by R. Smith, but I had not considered Al Herbert, because I don't recall seeing much of his work before. Do you still have a photo of that 1950 44 Target? If so, would you be so kind as to post it - please?
Thanks,
