I definitely appreciate the help. I wish there was some sort of data base where one can search based on initials since I image there's a good chance that they used the initials simply to save space and not because he went by those initials generally.
My gut feeling is that the individual was somehow involved with the team since the inscriptions makes it seems like an "official" presentation rather than signing for a random person.
I wonder if there is some way to tell whose handwriting it is...
It looks like Chalmers Gaston Davidson was born in 1907, so he would have only been around 24 in 1931. I'll need to look deeper to see if there's any connection but have not seen anything just yet.
Charles Grant Davidson was a painter, but since he died in 1902 it seems unlikely it was for him.
