Other Notes: Due to the casting element of the construction process, it was not uncommon for slight blemishes to be present in the bodies of the Junior model air-pistol. The easiest (and cheapest) way to disguise these marks was to engrave over them. This engraving job was usually tasked to the apprentices, and varies in style from small scrolled details to whole panels. Even though this work was carried out in the factory, it should not be confused with 'factory engraving'.
