Bill - Your trigger plate vignette of a setter on point has a striking resemblance to the setter on point in Fig.8.4, page 225, TPS. This engraving was signed H Gough.
I think it is more than a "guess" that Harry Gough engraved your gun.
Thanks for sharing!

Gough at least may have engraved parts of your gun. Usually production guns had many hands in the engraving shop execute the work.

I saw a D grade recently that was a perfect example of this. The sides had scroll work that simply came to life and was far above any typical D grade gun. But the trigger plate was rather run of the mill in comparison.

No offense meant to anyone who refinishes Parkers, but the pictured guns are good examples of why we don't refinish the receivers on old Parkers.

Bill are you saying the guns pictured have been refinished or that they are examples of why you don't refinish because of their quality.

I suspect the one I posted to open this thread may have had some polishing or whatever done on the receiver, the engraving just isn't as sharp, but I am not certain of that. But that was fine for me as it was reflected in the price and is a great shooter for me.

Just curious as there are multiple guns posted and I am just curious what you were trying to say.

The pointer and setter on my DH made in 1902 have the same facial expressions, but mind has the four ducks on the floorplate. All but sure it was done by the same engraver.
