Gents. I have wondered if the soldiers had access to electric engravers during the period? I have seen examples with elec. pencil or dremel engraved inscriptions and own one example, but have so far never gotten an answer to the question. Have tried numerous searches for antique engravers but only come up with hand tools.

Have also seen examples where the inscription was applied with a nail or other pointed object.
