Belgium engraver Rene Delcour in full assault on Joseph Scholtissen. Thankfully Rene is sporting a huge smile and Joseph's tongue is hanging out dramatically in this old photo of them horsing around in a workshop in 1974.

There was a Browning inspector named Joseph Scholtissen so maybe this is him.

From the collection of engraving memorabilia of Don Glaser.

And all this time I thought it was the engraver always on the receiving end! Cute.

DJ Glaser sent it to me. Not sure who took it but it might have been Don.

yes, it's always nice to see imagery like this. i would think it tends to show that engravers can actually be "real people", rather than what the public may perceive us to be.
