Here are a few photos for the L C Smith collectors which may help identify the engraving of Charles H Jerred Sr.. I'm not sure af anything about Jerred except that he dabbled with or designed and installed single triggers for Hunter Arms. I have about 5 different single triggers on Fulton trigger plates from Jerred, none of which seem to match the patent record.
Anyway Jerred had his own scroll touchmark but I've yet to see it on a Smith. It's certainly not on my Smiths. I've been told that Jerred succeeded Krouse but I don't know what year that would have been.
Jerred's cypher is on his stationery. People who wouldn't know Jerred's name from a box of doughnuts told me that alot of his stuff wound up in a barn in Sunset Bay, Irving NY.
I'm posting these photos in hopes that someone will be able to recognize his engraving work on later manufactured Smiths or Fultons.
