About the signature on the barrel , I have a question? Since Dickert had gunmakers that , built rifles for him , is there a possibility that different men "signed" his signature. I know that this sounds crazy but, I personally know of two different modern builders that supply a lot of guns. These men have a few workers that do various tasks on the guns . Neither of them engrave , but they have workers that do. I have personally seen a few variations of their "signatures" on guns built in their shop. I know sometimes people say Dickert signed them this way or that during a different period , which could be true. I just wonder how many were signed by his workers. This post is not intended to anger anyone , just something I have wondered about regarding Dickert. Nate
