I am trying to find out more information on the engraver F. Iora inc. on a Merkel shotgun. I have found out next to nothing on him or any understudies he may have had. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ferruccio Iora was born in Brescia, Italy in 1924. He is one of many highly skilled Italian gun engravers who worked on high end Italian shotguns like that pictured. The Inc. after Iora's name is the abbreviation for incisore, which translates to engraver from Italian. Beyond that, I have no information.
