Very, very close in coverage and execution of engraving.
I do, however, prefer Joe Loy's dogs' heads and faces over those on the Parker. Thanks for those comparisons Bruce. .

Just to pick a nit -- A Parker Bros. CH was a $150 gun, while the Lefever E-Grade was their $100 price point gun, more a match to a DH Parker. The C-Grade was the Lefever $150 gun.
Still, both guns shown are great guns and fine examples of their dog styles. |

Oops I didn't mean to thumbs up. I neither agree or disagree. It's said by those who know more than me that it is likely Joseph Loy.

Nor do I, but it is my firm belief that those are his dogs. It is a known fact that most engravers, even the best like Loy, didn't sign all their work, especially on the lower grade Guns.
