AH Engraving detail

[Craig Larter]

The detail and shading in the dogs amazes me. Click to enlarge.

That is certainly one engraved during the fine engraving years of Parker guns. Thanks for sharing.

[Dean Romig]

That’s beautiful Craig.

Do you find H. Gough’s signature anywhere on it?

Don’t know much, but, I know that engraving is beautiful!

[Garry L Gordon]

There’s a difference between engraving skill and drawing skill That example shows both. When you get to the mid-1920s, you see a diminished drawing skill, but good engraving skill. Those early year engravers could draw, and that gun is a great example of it.

I think the same dog posed for the DH I just received, circa 1899.
