This is a pretty good example of his punch dot work

Here’s the only two things I could find about Otto Bodenstein:
Otto Bodenstein (1831-1902) - Find a Grave Memorial
Remingtons
The Remington 1875 revolver looks typical of the engraving of other engravers of the time period. I’m guessing he adopted the punch dot engraving style for speed and volume.
This information about Otto Bodenstein is new information to me as I always had read that Merwin & Hulbert revolvers were “machine engraved”, whatever that means.
