Oh...funny. It sounded like you were talking about stringing logs and skidding out of the woods.

Both hard jobs!

Please let us know if you see any marks on that frame. If you have the original wood it might be under a grip cap.

We've talked about both Tobin and Giddings in this thread. Here's some examples. I am not sure of the relationship of Giddings and Tobin, if any.

Wonderful guns Daryl - wonderful engraving!

Beautiful dogs in that top example but the landscape is something we just don't see on but a scant few American guns.
And the setters on the bottom example appear to have been done by an engraver familiar to Parker aficionados.

Dean, the setters you refer to could have been done by the fellow you suspect. That gun was made in Norwich. The other Tobin was Frank Major Tobin's gun. I have a bit of family history on it. It has the optional Pyro Oxide [I think I remember the term properly] finish. I cannot guess who the engraver might be. I seriously doubt that this engraving was done in Europe.

Pardon me - Chris, those pheasants are dead ringers for pheasants we have seen flying on a couple of LC Smithhs.

I recently came across this Tobin ad in "Hardware and Metal", Toronto, Sept. 24, 1910
