Reading LandOfBorchardt.com article on 1899........ going on process.

The picture of the recent gift gun printed in PDF is not very sharp, I assume there is no dot on the center of the crest (?)

Experts -- How to tell the crest being hand engraved or hand stamped?

[just realized that tiny dot making theories shaking.....could that dot be added in 1929.....but.....]
