Indeed, the engraving is not that of the masked engraver from Herzberg, whose steady hand applied the tap, tap, tap of the „Raschsche Karreegravierung“. This Zella-Mehis adornment is of the nature of „Altdeutscher Laubgravur“ or moreover, „Wetzlaub“.

It appears to have the 4000k ATM „ Atmosphären-Pulver “ stamp on the left side of the receiver. And when the wood is removed, the marks will more than likely point to proof @ the Zella-Mehlis Proof Facility.

Hochachtungsvoll,
