Dhe engraving
 
I was looking at a new to me Remington parker this evening. It has the normal D engraving except that the pointer is on the right side of the action rather than on the left. The setter is on the left. Is this normal on Remington
guns?

Jeff, I've seen a number of Remington era D's with the dogs switched like you describe.

There were a few D's made with no animals, I have seen one.

No vignette at all Mark... just scroll?

They're out there... Stephen Cobb has a B (Grade 5) with no engraving at all... looks like a VH from a few feet away.

The animals were clearly missing on the one I saw, I think Gary C owned it. I don't remember the details. I had a BH that was all Scroll. There are more B's out there than other grades and I saw a good number of them in the records. They were popular around 1900. Merry Christmas

Has anyone been able to trace this style to a particular engraver

I don't think so.

Heck,

I have seen 1 DH with NO engraving on it. Ordered that way.
