Very interesting

So what was the "treat for the eyes" the engravers had? The ivy? Green is supposed to be soothing to the eyes

Absolutely fascinating...I had always assumed that the core received its black finish before assembly. Thanks for taking the time and effort to put it all together here.

To round the thread off nicely, can anyone post minty examples of the Deschler EKs ?
