I was in louisiana this weekend and triped over this gun. Now for all you sharp eyed people out there, I am aware of the Broken stock. I beleave this gun is worth saveing. See if you can spot the dog and birds in the engraveing. The gun is a P Webley and sons of london manufacture. 10ga with 32" barrels. There is a duck and a pheasant and a pointer in each lock. I didnt see them either. They showed up when I photographed them.

Ok Ed, get your reading glasses out :) and follow the P Webley & sons banner in the first pic of the right side lock - there is the end of a pin in the middle of the scroll at the front end of the banner, then the finial of a scroll and then the first bird,

There is another bird two scrolls off the back of the banner

The dog is in the back curve of the lock right behind the rosette
