Master Engraver ID

[cwchilders]

Looking for help to identify the signature on my Master A engraved Prewar 44 Special? The attached picture show the initials on the grip frame.

And a shot of some engraving...

Nice.  Birdshead hammer too.  I don't recognize the mark.  John Adams uses JA and Dennis Kies uses DK.  Both marks are on the frame and not hidden.  Do you have the box with the end label and a serial number also?

Hi Gary,

I do have the box, and the notes from the fellow that originally ordered the gun. Looks like he spoke with you--how cool is that?

Thanks for any info you can share!

[GaryG]

WOW.  How cool is that.  Probably should have said I don't recognize the mark.  I have one other source to go to.  I'll post whatever I find. 

[GaryG]

From the source.  Engraving was done by John Adams Junior.  He also did the Cattlebrand guns and the JW Centennials.  I finally remembered the request about the range marks.

Thank you Gary!
