Colleagues,
I would like to open a discussion on the subject of Engraved Enfields for the Reenactor. In my experience, I have not seen this put into practice by the Confederate Reenacting community. I know there is special attention paid to "De-Farbing" P53 Enfields ; which may entail the placing of various importer stamps and marks. The JS Anchor Holy Grail mark seems to put the "cherry on top". However, the engraving of the Butt Plate, and in some cases stamping of the stock, in my opinion, would truly put the finishing touch on a Confederate Reenactors Firearm.
There are so many other marks, known and unknown, which also place the P53 in the Confederate realm of use. Caleb Huse, Sinclair and Hamilton, Issac and Campbell are known Confederate Agents/Partners when it comes to weapons provenance. Other marks as the Diamond C, TC over a Star and large Block letters on the weapon also confirm Confederate use.
I will withhold my intellectual property regarding the subject upon feedback from the community. Does this topic interest you?
I look forward to an open discussion.
Respectfully,
Michael Collins
