Just checking the left ear of the elephant and the dark indentations near the top, shadows, folds in the skin are very similar but to my eye on my screen, are not identical. The .600's elephant has a longer middle indentation. It appears the pattern was copied, but a photocopy - or engineered machine copy.
The folds, shadows and indentations are seemingly, not identical and would be if not cut by hand.




Daryl S: I printed out photos from the elephant engravings on both rifles. In addition to what you noted, I saw that the tusks on the larger elephant on the .577 protrude from it's flanks, where they do not on the .600. Additionally, both elephants have their trunks curled around. On the .577, the nostril is pointed to the left, whereas the elephant on the .600 has his nostril facing us. I speculate that Michael Richter may have used the same image as a model when he was engraving each of these guns.....but, I agree.....it looks like they were done by hand. Cheers. Chip.
