For comparison, here are Joseph Loy's dogs. Note the blocky, upturned snout. It is the most telling feature of Loy's animals. He didn't ALWAYS do his setters this way, but as I've seen them, the pointers have always had this snout. The second picture shows his signature on this Remington 1894 EE grade.
Note that Spangler's work above is generally soft, almost dream-like. In contrast, Loy's style is bold and deep set. - NDG Last edited by Nick de Guerre; 07-28-2019 at 10:40 PM.. |

And Loy's dogs' eyes are always a dead giveaway.

Here’s a new one on me - see the “S” at about 4 o’clock in the dog vignette? Spangler hallmark?

I believe so Josh.... what else could it be?
I'm aware of only one other American engraver besides Spangler who did a dog's eyes like that. .

Thats definitely odd...havent seen that on another. Can't imagine anyone else who would have used an S. Given thats a very early gun, maybe Spangler signed some that way? Nice gun! D or C?
