Interesting trigger plate engraving
 

Saw a first generation damascus Parker DH recently and on the bottom of the receiver was a pointer looking back instead of the usual flying ducks, anyone ever run across one of these? T

One of my early DH damascus guns on a one frame had a nice Setter on the floorplate. Much nicer then the birds that they ended up using

DH with looking back dog
 

The dog was on the floorplate of the early DH with non rebounding hammers. I don't know about the last one, but the single dog returned on the Ilion D. Good topic for Parkers Found.

Hmmm... the "Dog Looking Back" engraving motif...

I remember several years ago the "bird looking back" was an oft discussed engraving topic. I'll certainly keep a sharp eye out for looking back dogs on Parkers. Does anyone have an example they can show us?

I have a 12 DH (Ser # 56788) with a single setter on the floorplate and a setter "looking back" (looks more like the dog is relieving itself) on the right side of the receiver. I just took some pictures but I can't find the dang cord to upload them. Hopefully I can get them up tomorrow.

Sorry the photos are so dark.
