Yep, I remember that one... and the “Cow Gun”.... and the “Chicken Thief Gun”... and several more.
Thanks Gary! .

Very interesting engraving. I think that is also the first time I have seen the backside of the rebound pin specifically embellished with engraving.

These early high dollar-grade guns with "cartoonish" engraving are usually attributed to the very talented and imaginative Jacob Glahn.
