Hi Folks,
I have a new model Evans repeating rifle, circa 1878, which has a curious medallion laid into the foregrip. It’s not just tacked on but recessed, and well done - the relatively small cross grain cut outs are cleaner than casual.
The letters in the circle appear to be S K L O with perhaps an upside down WV or VW at the bottom, or perhaps a stylized MA or AM right side up.
Within the circle is a triangle with what may be the scales of justice.
Does anyone have any idea what this medallion represents? Perhaps a private owner, an organization, an award. Maybe SKLO is an abbreviation for a motto? Its set with the top pointing towards the muzzle, so doesn’t seem to make sense as a decoration for a display that would be hung horizontally. It’s on the right side, so would be visible to the shooter.
For what it’s worth, this is the sporting model with checkering also on the foregrip.
thanks for any creative ideas!!
