With all the recent engraving posts, I have a strange question------ Did Felix Funken sign all of his guns in the same place?
If you look at the post above your post at the engraved a5 you can see the signature on the top of the action. Steve!
Thanks for the vote of confidence - but in the context of the Auto-V, I haven't studied enough 'high-grade' examples to be able to answer the question, with any degree of certainty. But most of the 'signed' examples I remember, are signed below the cut-off switch.
