Looks to me like Joseph Loy engraved those guns. Simply beautiful dogs!

Dean, are there tell-tails that say “Loy” to you? Do you suspect that he may have done my 16ga also?

The dogs’ heads and especially the eyes say “Joe Loy” to me, and yes, your sixteen too.

In 1895, Joe Loy left Ithaca and took up the position as head of the engraving department at Ilion, a position he held for the next 45 years.

Several of the best engravers took private engraving orders from some of the major gun companies. Gough comes to mind as does Joe Loy and others.
