Does anyone know who the engraver might have been on this gun? I have started looking for initials hidden in the work. Thought possibly might be Joseph Loy.

While the half-pistol grip seems to be far and away the most common on the C-Grades and below, this may be the first EE-Grade to show up with a half-pistol grip stock. All the E-Grades that Charles Semmer shows in his book are either capped pistol grip of straight grip. In the D-Grade section he shows one D-Grade gun with a half-pistol grip and states that most have either a capped pistol grip or straight grip.

Does anyone have an actual photo of Joe Loy's touch mark that was used on his work that can be shared? I have read several posts of what it looks like but have yet to find anyone that posts a photo of the touch mark itself.

Recently one just sold at Julia's that belonged to a good friend. Here is the link to it. If the one shown in this post was in the condition his was in with two barrels you can imagine what the price would be. http://jamesdjulia.com/item/2390-386/According to what is written in the description, only 3 EE grades in 16 ga. were ever made.
