No teasing really Brian, just time release.

Dean, thanks for sharing photos of these wonderful guns with us. By any chance do any of the three have indications they were done by H. Gough? Initials or engraved signature(s)?

John, the three that Dean posted photos of are not signed.

The one that I posted a link to IS signed by Gough (initials HG on the lock plate).

It is interesting that the 8 guns were all made together and I am sure all engraved by the same hands, but not all are signed. I can only speak to my knowledge of the engraving on the first 4 of the 8 guns.

John, in my opinion all three are definitely engraved in Harry Gough's style which is especially evident in the way the dogs and stags are depicted. And, though some are not signed by Gough I don't believe there was anybody else in the Parker Bros. engraving room at the time these guns were created who could have possibly equaled the mastery of the art of engraving that Gough had achieved.

I know... that's just an opinion but I don't think it would be a stretch at all for this to be the case.
