Compare the style of the engraved dogs - obviously done by the same hand.
There is no documented evidence of what I'm stating about the engraver and of these particular dogs but I've studied this particular engraver's style for a number of years and what I've stated is my conviction alone. I'm not afraid to be wrong, but I'll need to be convinced of it.
