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.

xausa: I see your point. I haven't yet compared the two sets of engraving side by side and in detail, but no doubt, they are, at the least, very similar. Should they turn out to be done by any other means than by hand, I will be extremely upset. I paid a good deal of money, and waited a very long time to have this work performed. I would be surprised to see a reputable company like Heym misrepresent themselves in this way. Cheers. Chip.
