ok so lets keep this all tied together here fellas which i think we are doing .
do you all think that this heavy ornamentation slowed down because of guarding of secrets or was it simply change .

if i get the jest of what your getting at here puffer is that maybe the move came about as gunsmiths started losing the ability to do this engraving . or is it maybe because they slowly moved to providing simpler works for the common person ?

How about the laws passed by the crown in the 18th century , did they have an effect you think ?
