On higher grade guns the buyer must have been able to request the style of engraving if they wished. I have two BHE's a 12 and a 20 with floral engraving, no dogs and no stags. The engraving patterns seem pretty standard up through the grade 4 guns to me.

My God that is Beautiful!

My first year hammerless B is an 8 dog gun and my 3 year newer is a 6 dog and elk.
