 :-[ :-[ :-[... after a long second look , the engraving on the tail of lock is like on the Hacker Martin pistol I have , so could be an apprentice he had back in the '50's, ... Robert Carr ....... speculating, of course, but maybe a starting point for investigation ....

Had not considered "RE", good point. No marks on the barrel. Will pursue Robert Carr. Maybe someone reading this has a Robert Carr piece & can verify the "RC" Thank you for your insight & informative suggestions.

I think the guy must have been a cowboy.  His signature looks like a brand rather than an engraving.
