AH Engraving detail
 

The detail and shading in the dogs amazes me. Click to enlarge.

That is certainly one engraved during the fine engraving years of Parker guns. Thanks for sharing.

That’s beautiful Craig.

Do you find H. Gough’s signature anywhere on it?

Don’t know much, but, I know that engraving is beautiful!

There’s a difference between engraving skill and drawing skill That example shows both. When you get to the mid-1920s, you see a diminished drawing skill, but good engraving skill. Those early year engravers could draw, and that gun is a great example of it.

I think the same dog posed for the DH I just received, circa 1899.
