He would engrave any font wanted but here is one that he used. Without this key, I would have a hard time distinguishing many of the letters. Thought a few here might be interested. Walter c. Snyder

He showed me a picture of your $2000 grade Ithaca 37. NICE. He says hello. He also said he knew Bill Mcgraw well. Cheers. Socialism is almost the worst.
