Runge did some beautiful and distinctive engraving!

That was a typical feature on dogs engraved during the period when Frederick Anschutz was chief engraver. When he died in 1930 that feature ended for the most part. I had been a proponent of those dogs having been engraved by him... but who knows. And now we see one engraved by Runge with that feature...

I think the book lacks some accuracy on the late guns. I haven't lettered it.
