Russ, just normal cut quail engraving on a CHE. Rem Parker gun and the quail you sometimes see as a variation.
The bead sculpted gun is a 1911 BHE. About a box of shells through it.
I posted those photos as examples of correct and original Parker case hardening colors, which vary. Those can be compared to modern attempts to duplicate colors and people can make their own decisions. I will say that inadequate finishing, buffing the frame, and failure to remove oil can leave the frame and engraving worse looking than it was before.
