About the only name I can come up with is Gary Nelson.
That from a back issue of the FEGA newsletter (Firearms Engravers Guild)
http://fega.com/nl/FEGAEngraverIssue84.pdf
In that issue on page 17 an article "FEGA, From the Beginning'
talks about the first meeting of the group in 1980, and a list of the 20 people/engravers that attended.
The first name on that list is Gary Nelson.
I've not heard of his name before. I know or know of everyone else on the list except for 2 others.
I would contact the FEGA. They have a Historian. See if they have any info on him at all.
Any pics of his work. Perhaps he is still working and can ID,, or say it is not his work.
It is certainly nice engraving.
Hope this helps.

Thanks much, that's certainly the best lead so far. I think RKmesa contacted FEGA but hasn't had a response as far as I know. Thanks again.

I didn't see anyone listed on the FEGA site as a Pro or Master rated engraver with initials that could be a possibility.
But they have had many members over the yrs. They come and the go
Good luck in your search. I will keep looking
