Ahh I didn't know that. Interesting.In the 18th and 19th century...
It was pretty common to see "Andy54Hawken his rifle " or "Ilikegunspdx his horn " on firearms , powderhorns , knives etc....
Spelling and Grammer was also very loose to say the least.
But yes...it could be that someone is saying that Bill Willyums once owned this rifle...for sure.
As well as I really couldn't say when that was craved into the stock..
1850...1950....whenever....
And it is never wise to make a concrete statement about a firearm based only on one aspect of the firearm.
( not saying that you or I are doing this )
