Rory,
1) Tue did not engrave the 1895's.
2) Might have started working for Savage as early as 1899(?).
3) It is common to find engraved rifles with lower serial numbers than when the rifle was produced. Speculate that receivers were pulled and stored or started and completed later.
4) Murray's numbers can not be used for the early years.
5) From my data I would say that engraved rifles was heaviest in the 1903-1915. Some engraving in the early post WWI period but dropped off fast.
In the list that Jed supplied (great info!)it shows Gough in 1930 and Tue dead in 1927. The K's started in 1926/27...were they all Gough engraved? The "K" pattern is a lesser version of the "A". Lots of unanswered questions, as always.
I Googled Enoch Tue...this posting came up.
