Re: Possible Nimschke engraved gun
Thanks for the input, I have enclosed a couple more pictures. A couple of things to concider with this gun- If the gun was new (1860) when it was engraved it would have been early in Nimschkes career and probably too early for someone to copy his style. The gun is quite small and is fairly worn barely showing any trace of the original plating. I have not yet had a chance to look for any initials. Did Nimschke sign or initial all of his work including the early work? The serial number does have a banner around it but I don't have a picture at this time. Thanks again -Preston
