May i upload my couple miniatures. It is not such a brilliant job as that of corrado's examples, but i have the 'advantage' of knowing their provenance; Portuguese silver work.
It is amazing how these two different smiths cared for their work, one punctioning his State and personal hallmark in the Winchester side plate and the other caring to 'blue' the barrels of the shotgun, besides making their 'braking' functional, so as to open them by turning the top lever.
