There seems to be a consensus who did the best engraving for LeFever, who was it?

Lefevers and LC Smiths lead the pack in engraving.

I love these threads that show different engraving styles and agree the Lefever's had some of the best dog scenes of any American maker. I have shown this gun before but for those that may have missed it this CHE had one of my all time favorite deep relief scenes. The sides were cut in the same deep fashion.

Being in Syracuse, New York, a lot of the Lefever engraving was likely done by Spangler and members of the Glahn family.

Beautiful engraving! Are the dogs full relief? Or cut in as line drawings?

Wow, that is nice!

Does anyone know what was the equivalent Parker and Lefever grade compared to a Crown LC Smith in cost in 1915 or so? I remember seeing a chart on the Baker website at one time that showed all the classic maker's original cost by grade in a chart.
