Bruce, critics of engraving have never even attempted to draw, less try to use a graver in steel to know really how tedious and difficult it truly is

 I've always been partial to D-grades but the B's and above had more depth. Personally, I think the LCS Grade 5's set the standard for engraving of dog scenes. |

Certainly the higher the grade the more detailed and elaborate the engraving but I admire the scroll and filigree on Parkers beginning as low as some grade 2's and certainly the grade 3's.
It is true that sidelock guns have a larger palette upon which to execute the engraver's art. .
