Absolutely correct, it is a different variation of Robert Runge's usually observed dogs and pheasants on DHE Repro's. We must keep in mind however that Tom Skeuse sent several of his very best Remington Parkers to the Olin Kodensha factory in Japan. Why the other engraving style was chosen for the later DHE Repro's over the one pictured in this thread is anybody's guess, but I suspect Mr. Skeuse himself had a hand in the decision.
Correction made - it was Tom Skeuse, not Jack as I had originally (and erroneously) stated. My thanks to Greg for politely and discreetly pointing out my error.
