Hi Daryl. According to Robert Chambers, when he was active here, Joseph Loy engraving can be identified by the initials "J" and "L" formed back to back by the 'eyelash' slashes on his work. The Ithaca pictured above has it behind the fences, and then shows the eyelash in the mountain scene on the floor-plate of the remington. Its in the border to the scroll on the guns Walt pictured. I've looked for that hidden mark on period guns ever since Chambers posted that "Revelation"...Geo
