You better print an error message "no signature found" if you do a
verify and don't get a bad, good or error signature status back.
There are dozens of other reasons why the signature check might file
we can't provide such detailed information.

A solution would be a log window which receives all gpg output and you
can refer the user to this log window in case of such an error.
