I think that Egyptian writing is called hieroglyphic script and not cartouches. I was always told by vets and older collectors that they called the markings on US Rifle stocks cartouches. I'm not much of an advanced collector I don't think. Those War Eagle guys are what trigger me.
Edit: Just kidding of course. I don't really care either way what they are called.
