Model 12 Japan Engraving
Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2014 11:54 amI've joined in hopes of finding someone with living knowledge of post-war engravers in Japan. I have a pair of Model 12's that I believe my father had engraved while with occupation army 1950. One was built in 1950 the other 52'. The story I was told was he bought them through the PX and had a "local" artisan do the work. They have the same motif with platinum mounted birds and dogs. I have not seen another gun with this level of work and so the question. Am I looking at work that was done in Japan? One gun has the initials ET just behind the trigger guard.
Anyone ?
I swore I thought I put this in the first post. There are pictures of both guns on Guns International where they are currently posted for sale. The item numbers are 100502500 and 100502507.
