Thanks guys beautiful rifles, they do bring up some questions.

Rifle Tom Trevor posted the # 49 Walnut Hill matches the Stevens 49, 51 & 52 Engraving shown in the 1911 Stevens Catalog. Except,  Catalog front and rear border is a simple line not the double line with a design. Could be the catalog illustration did not show all the detail

First Rifle Marlinguy posted is exactly like the 1911 catalogs Stevens 54 engraving and gave us the idea fo the round panel side of my CPA.

Kurts rifle and Marlinguys 2nd Rifle are not shown in that catalog but certainly factory original both exactly the same. Probably shown in another catalog. I like it a lot.

That's 3 designs wonder if there are any more.

I am going to get my CPA Pope Offhand model Schuetzen engraved. And am leaning toward the # 49 pattern. CPA's are not Stevens and no need to be exact in every detail, should be close though. I am wondering about the borders, are some more intricate, some simple line, or does the catalog simplify the actual work

Have patience with me please !

I might have answered my own question off Halp's photo site. Good examples of Stevens # 49 engraving with several border treatments. Some simple line, some worked line, few double line embellished like on Tom's # 49  So it's pretty sure the factory would do about anything.

No doubt some ordered the 5 dollar # 49 engraving out of the catalog & had a few more bucks to put on the job, and Stevens was glad to accommodate.

Interesting stuff

Boats,-- Any chance to see close-ups of Ken's engraving on your rifle? Think he has posted engraved actions in the for sale section. Work appears to be excellent and maybe a hidden talent if he is in the business.

Boats, here's another #49 - hadn't seen a picture posted of one like this yet.
By the way, you've done a very tasteful job on your 20 year old!
Regards, Joe

Thanks another piece of the puzzle.  That 49 is near identical to one of the 49's on Halps site and probably the most suitable pattern for my Schuetzen CPA.

Am not a real good photographer, will try to get some close up's though.  Closer you look better it is.  Standing shooter on the right side of the action is from an old copy of "The Rifle" They had illustrations of the well known shooters of the day. 

Ken picked that particular one and duplicated it perfectly. Right down to every detail.

He is a professional engraver, best talk to him direct for more details. Here is a link

Very nice examples, all of them! Nice to see that Ken is just up the road from me. Only about ten miles from where my spotter lives, so will be convenient to use his services.
Picking up my newly rebarreled CPA from the 'factory' next week. Looking forward to developing a load for it over the summer.
