Very nice examples Dean. Very good photography also by the way. Personally I like subject number 3. The engraving is a little more sparse and not as busy as the typical D grade which makes the dogs stand out to my eye. I think the dogs on subject number 3 are much more lifelike than the other guns. According to the table one would expect that was a Runge engraved gun. Very very nice. Thanks for posting. I'm certain we would enjoy hearing more about these beautiful guns. Yep that's a hint.

I definitely believe #3 was engraved by Runge and I believe #2 is the work of Frederick Anschutz ( we don’t see that engraving style after 1930 - the year Anschutz died) and I believe #1 is the work of William Gough.
#4 has me stumped. I’ve seen that engraving before and we even see it’s replicaton on a small number of Repros too. It was engraved during Runge’s tenure as chief engraver for Remington but it is not Runge’s work. Probably done by a very accomplished engraver working under Runge. Possibly Charles Forest...? That’s just my take guys... .

Hey Dean! Thanks for commenting. I know you have taken great interest in this subject. #1 is a 1917 gun. Although I would like to think it is a W.Gough engraving, it is later than records would indicate he was engraving. 6 years seems like a long time for a left over part or something of that nature.
I agree with you on 2/3. #4 is something I have not seen stylistic similarities of previously. I also think 4 is someone accomplished based upon the floor plate.
