Engraved 1866 Winchester Pauline?
I'm hoping Pauline might be able to identify the engraver of this 1866 Winchester. According to Cody It was not shipped from the factory engraved. I have searched all over and can not find a signature on the gun anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

It may have been a NY engraver but it's beautiful! [:p] 0 -
The scrollwork looks very close to Nimske but there is something bothering me about the style of the indian head and the buffalo. I have no idea who did it. 0 -

Would you think it's "period" engraving? Is there a way to tell?
Thank you,

That's what is bothering me about the buffalo and especially the indian. They are definitely not done in the style of that period. The indian head almost has a sort of Marvel comics look to it. 0 -

That's funny! Maybe it was engraved by Stan Lee! [:D]0 -
That would be pretty neat. You never know. Angelo Bee put Snow White and the seven dwarfs on a Model 12. 0 -
For what its worth, the lack of patina on the brass is what I question. It takes many years for it to loose it shine correctly. 0 -

That's the single most important thing I see after what Pauline has already mentioned.0
