Mark,

Not simply engraved, but pantograph engraved. This is accomplished by a very small rotary tool, like a router. Characteristically, you can see the swirl patterns it leaves, and the direction of line continuity particularly in the M. Also note that all the stroke-ends are rounded, there are no sharp ends or outside corners.

An excellent example. I look forward to your further macro photography.
