Zernike,

I believe you are refering to Louis D. Nimschke and Winston G. Churchill.

L. D. Nimschke was born in Germany in July 1832. He immigrated to America about 1850. He died at the age of 71 around April 1904. He engraved until 1902. This link will give you some background: http://www.georgemadis.com/987/NL1-1.html

Winston G. Churchill is a contemporary gun engraver of the highest reputation. He works from his studio in Vermont. He began as a gun engraver in 1969 with the firm of Griffin & Howe under the tutelage of the late master Josef Fugger.

Best wishes,
