Hi
In the description of the gizarme it says that the coat of arms on it was acid digested ........ it's probably a mistake.
In my opinion, this groove is definitely the stylus.
What do you think?

its dated to the 1500 -1600 time period, well its not impossible that acids were used. by this time engraving was done on metal plates (usually copper or bronze) using a needle like tool and then mild acid applied to etch. the acid would sit in the lines of the drawing and eat away more of the material in order for the image to become deeper. this is normally applied to print making but i image the same can be done to other applications.
i think the level or engraving (actual depth of it) can tell more about how it was made.

from what i know of engraving - weather its print work or otherwise. i can say that an acid etching is probably an easier/ faster way to achiever the desired look or a hammered engraving when it comes to complex lines and close swirls. a really busy piece in other words. the acid will do most of the work, you just use your stylus to draw out the pattern, leaving only a light scratch.
hammered engraving - takes a ton of control. just to keep the chisel in a consistent depth takes a lot of learned skill in itself. not to mention the occasional distortion that close line work will cause. these days, many professional engravers use a numismatic engraving tool, which allows for some really detailed stuff.
