Very generally speaking, three ducks or sharptails or pheasants on the floorplate are found on a GH while four gamebirds are found on the floorplate of a DH. I've seen five birds on CH and BH guns but I've never seen six birds on the floorplate of a Parker. This is not to say they don't exist...

Here are a couple of examples of D engraving from various periods. I believe the oversized ducks are what we commonly refer to as flying turnips. The only one I would consider really nice is the one with two pheasants on the ground and two in the air.
