Like everyone else, I believe, I was stunned by the quality of the engraving shown in the first rifle, the "Elephant Stopper". However, when I saw the photos of the second rifle with apparently identical engraving I began to suspect that what we are seeing is actually some sort of photoengraving or etching. Of course, I have no way of verifying my suspicion one way or the other, but I wonder if anyone has actually seen this engraver at work in the process of producing these photographic quality images.
