name that engraver

1858 Remington-Beals .36 Navy

The name Louis Nimschke keeps showing up. He engraved early Remingtons around the time this gun was made (1860). He was copied later and there's alot of fake Nimschke engravings out there but apparently when he first began he wasn't copied simply because he wasn't known.
If you look real close you can see the engraved dots.
It's possible it was Nimschke.
