You've got a very unusual grade 2 there Ed. I can't remember seeing engraving exactly like that before. The case color looks original - the scroll engraving looks Remingtonish but the birds in the game scenes look quite different than any others I've seen. The bobwhite on the floor plate looks almost Remington... Very interesting. Maybe a different engraver, one whose work we haven't seen until now, was allowed to do the game scenes.... who knows?
I wonder what the R D stamp signifies.
