Great stuff, detail changes from one to another, I think I like the bottom one more so than the other, both great.

Congratulations Dean. We'll certainly be following that auction. I'll be very interested to see how Jim and Wes and the others there represent it in their catalogue.

Default DH ENGRAVING

There two photos of engraving on an early 1 frame DH, 56568 which is early production near the 100th DH produced. Note the dog on the floor plate; some of the last Ilion DH guns also have a single dog on the floorplate.

Best, Austin

Default DH ENGRAVING

The attached photos are a late , light (6lb 15oz) 1 1/2 DH (not DHE), 216639. There are four birds on the floorplate, but they do not prophesize the F 102. There also appears to be some individuality, including some extra strokes, on the gaurd.

Best, Austin

Larry I have a DHE 12 with three birds on the floorplate. Serial number is in the 241 range. A quick check showed two DHE 20's one in the 222 range the other 171 and a DHE 12 in the 230 range all with four birds.

Wasn't there a discussion on the number of birds on the floorplate relating to the grade of the gun? D-3, C-4 etc.

Not really Rich - I was just wondering, in that thread, that it should have been so. What would have been easier? - the Grade 2 had two birds on the floorplate and it should have escalated up the grades from there . . . but it didn't until the Grade 5 (B) which often had five birds on the floorplate.
