Ken, the engraving on the GHE Bruce has displayed was done by Robert Runge, one of the most accomplished engravers of Parker guns. G or Grade-2 Parkers almost always had two birds engraved on both sides as well as on the floor plate. Each successive Chief Engraver had his own theme of what kind of birds he depicted. Runge obviously chose quail.

Nice gun Bruce.

Incidentally, the machine duplicated engraving on the DHE Repros is an exact copy of Runge engraving.
